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

objectivesTo describe clinical outcomes and pearls for patients with gestational trophoblastic neoplasm (GTN).

methodsPatients with GTN treated at a referral center from 1/2006 to 12/2022 were included. Clinical characteristics, World Health Organization risk score (low-risk 0-6, high-risk ≥7), and treatments/outcomes were evaluated using summary statistics, stratified by initial treatment at a referral center versus locally. Histologies included complete hydatidiform mole (CHM), partial hydatidiform mole (PHM), choriocarcinoma (CCA), placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT), and epithelioid trophoblastic tumor (ETT).

resultsOf 189 patients with GTN, 125 were treated initially at a referral center and 64 locally. Median age at diagnosis was 34 years (range, 17-70). Most patients were White (n = 132, 70 %); 80 patients had CHM, 26 PHM, 52 CCA, 11 PSTT, 19 ETT, and 1 ETT/CCA. For low-risk GTN, first-line treatment was primarily methotrexate, although some were cured with repeat dilation and curettage. For high-risk disease, first-line therapy consisted of multiagent chemotherapy regimens at a referral center (n = 18/18) compared to 7 of 15 patients with high-risk GTN treated with methotrexate at local institutions. Patients with low-risk and high-risk disease who received initial care at a tertiary referral institution had cure rates of 100 % (n = 87/87) and 89 % (n = 16/18), respectively, while patients with initial care locally had cure rates of 87 % (n = 33/37) and 47 % (n = 7/15), respectively.

conclusionGTN is a rare gynecologic malignancy with high cure rates, particularly in low-risk disease. Treatment consolidation at a tertiary referral institution is critical for improved outcomes, particularly in those with high-risk disease or PSTT/ETT.
