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

backgroundWe evaluate outcomes of SMARCB1-deficient sinonasal carcinomas in the largest single-institution study.

methodsRetrospective cross-sectional study of patients with SMARCB1-deficient sinonasal carcinoma between 1998 and 2024. Disease-specific survival (DSS) and recurrence-free probability (RFP) at 1 and 5 years were measured by Kaplan-Meier method.

resultsThere were 47 patients with a median age of 53. Initial pathological diagnosis was altered in 33%. Twelve (34%) patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy, with one partial response. Curative surgical approach was undertaken in 73%. Definitive chemoradiation was administered in 20%. DSS at 1 and 5 years was 93% and 45%, respectively. RFP at 1 and 5 years was 73% and 33%, respectively. On multivariate analysis, cranial nerve involvement (p = 0.01 for DSS) remained significantly worse for DSS and overall survival.

conclusionsSMARCB1-deficient tumors had limited response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Cranial nerve involvement was associated with worse prognosis. Optimal treatment is unclear. Surgery should be offered to patients with resectable disease.
