1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundCutaneous adnexal carcinomas are a heterogeneous group of rare neoplasms. Surgical excision is the first-line treatment in localized stage. The use and effectiveness of radiotherapy have not been thoroughly evaluated in these neoplasms.

objectivesThe present work analyses prognostic factors on outcomes in skin adnexal carcinomas, based on data from the CARADERM (CAncers RAres DERMatologiques) database.

methodsData were collected retrospectively including demographic data, tumour types and therapeutic characteristics of all patients included in the CARADERM database, with at least one informative follow-up visit. Analyses were performed on three populations: patients with complete resection of the primary tumour (ADJ/primary population), patients achieving complete remission after complete resection of a recurrent tumour (ADJ/recurrent population) and patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic tumours (ADV/MET population). Overall and recurrence/progression-free survivals at 3-year were analysed using Cox regression models.

resultsRadiotherapy did not affect overall survival (OS) in the ADJ/primary population. Adjusted recurrence-free survival (RFS) was significantly lower in the radiotherapy group in ADJ/primary group. Older patients had significantly poorer OS and RFS. Tumour size and immunosuppression were significantly associated with poorer RFS only. Radiotherapy had no effect on OS and RFS in the ADJ/recurrent population. Age was the only factor associated with a poorer OS. Radiotherapy was significantly associated with longer progression-free survival (PFS) in age-sex adjusted analysis in the ADV/MET population, without effect on OS.

conclusionsOur study shows that age, tumour size and immunosuppression are significantly associated with survival in localized adnexal carcinomas. Radiotherapy may improve PFS in the ADV/MET population but not in localized and recurrent carcinomas after complete excision.
