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

Objectives: Due to its rarity, there is insufficient evidence for managing ASCC patients with distant metastasis. Thus far, the therapeutic strategy for distant metastasis of ASCC is less standardized and requires a more individualized approach. Therefore, it is crucial to obtain information regarding treatment outcomes and prognostic factors following the development of distant metastasis to identify optimal care strategies for better patient outcomes and predict their prognosis. Methods: In the multi-institute cohort study conducted in Japan, we retrospectively assessed 58 ASCC patients with synchronous distant metastasis and 28 ASCC patients with metachronous distant metastasis. Results: When comparing the OS between ASCC patients with synchronous distant metastasis and metachronous distant metastasis, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups. The OS rate at five years was 37.4% for patients with synchronous distant metastasis and 27.6%; for metachronous distant metastasis. In ASCC patients with synchronous distant metastasis, patients with distant metastasis at multiple sites exhibited extremely worse OS than those at single sites (HR: 4.56, 95% CI: 1.16-18.00, Conclusions: ASCC patients with distant metastasis at multiple sites were a worse prognosis. In addition, early recurrence was identified as an independent prognostic factor for OS among ASCC patients.
