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

Background: Cancer survivors have an elevated risk of developing a second primary malignancy (SPM) after radiation therapy (RT). Data on the association between RT and SPM are limited. Our aim was thus to investigate the impact of RT on the risk of developing SPMs and to evaluate the specific characteristics and prognostic outcomes. Methods: We enrolled a pancancer cohort using data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results registries spanning from January 1973 to December 2015. Multivariable Cox and the Fine-Gray competing risk regression were employed to assess the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of SPMs in patients who received RT in comparison to those with no RT (NRT). Poisson regression was used to evaluate the RT-associated risks (RR) and the standardized incidence ratio (SIR) for SPMs. Results: The analysis identified 24 types of risk-increased SPMs (RI-SPMs), including malignancies of the oropharynx, hypopharynx, larynx, esophagus, lung, breast, liver, pancreas, stomach, colon, rectum, ovary, corpus uteri, ureter, vagina, urinary bladder, penis, testis, and kidney, among others. The cumulative incidence of those with RI-SPMs was higher than that of the NRT patients (19.8% Conclusions: Patients with RI-SPMs warrant greater attention given their time-cumulative onset risk and poor prognosis. Long-term surveillance is necessary for cancer survivors treated with RT.
