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.

Abstract

introductionHigh-risk neuroblastoma, particularly in the relapse/refractory (R/R) setting, poses unique challenges to obtaining the representative-quality tissue that is mostly required for molecular analysis. This study explores the use of 123I-MIBG radioguided surgery to access complex locations of MIBG-positive neuroblastoma as a tool to overcome the difficulties associated with repeated surgeries in these patients.

methodsThis study is a retrospective review of all patients with R/R neuroblastoma and MIBG-uptaking lesions who underwent radioguided surgery between February 2020 and 2023 at SJD Barcelona Children's Hospital. The Europrobe 3.2 gamma probe was used to identify neuroblastoma tissue in the operating room.

resultsTen patients were identified. Radioguided surgery was useful in all patients. One patient with previous multiple operations developed an entero-cutaneous fistula with posterior full recovery. Mean surgical time was 111.7 min. The gamma probe identified 100% of neuroblastoma lesions which were all completely removed (123I-MIBG-SPECT/CT negative post-surgery). Pathology and molecular studies could be successfully performed in all samples.

conclusions123I-MIBG radioguided surgery proved effective in obtaining viable tissue from difficult-to-access sites in high-risk relapsed neuroblastoma.
