Treatment outcomes of patients with primary tracheal tumors - analysis of a large retrospective series.
Article in BMC cancer, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivePrimary tracheal tumors are very rare and their management is not definitely established. Due to its rarity, providing patient care in terms of optimal management poses a considerable challenge. The purpose of this study was to investigate treatment outcomes in patients with these rare tumors.
methodsWe carried out a retrospective analysis of 89 patients with primary tracheal tumors treated at the Maria Sklodowska-Curie National Research Institute of Oncology in Warsaw, Poland, over sixteen years. The study assessed patient demographics, tumor characteristics and treatment. Different treatment options were compared in terms of overall survival, disease-free survival, and progression-free survival.
resultsA total of 89 patients were included in the study. In the group presented, 45 patients underwent primary radical treatment and 44 were qualified for palliative treatment. Surgical resection was performed in 13 patients out of radically treated patients. The 5 year OS rates in the group of patients who underwent radical treatment and in the group of patients who underwent palliative treatment were 45.9% and 2.3%, respectively. In the group of patients who underwent radical surgical treatment, the 5 year OS was 76.9% compared to 35.8% in the group of patients who underwent nonsurgical treatment.
conclusionA multidisciplinary team should decide treatment options, including in-depth consideration of surgical treatment options.
