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

objectiveTo apply the Toronto Childhood Cancer Staging Guidelines (TG) and Estimate the Observed Survival Probabilities for Pediatric Patients with Leukemia and Lymphoma.

methodsStaging at diagnosis was conducted according to tier 2 of the TG. The study cohort included patients aged 0 -19 years from the Population-Based Cancer Registry (PBCR) of Mato Grosso, diagnosed with leukemia and lymphoma between 2008 and 2017, with follow-up until December 31, 2022. Observed 60-month survivals were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

resultsStaging was assigned in 67.3% of cases (n=239), while in 32.7% (n=116), staging could not be applied due to incomplete data. Among the cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), 70.7% (n=133) were staged as CNS1, with an observed survival probability of 75.0%. For acute myeloid leukemia (AML), 42.2% (n=21) were staged as CNS-, with an estimated survival of 60.0%. Most Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) cases were staged as IIA/B (37.7%, n=23) and IIIA/B (21.3%, n=13), with survival probabilities of 91.3% and 91.7%, respectively. Among non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) cases, 32.1% (n=18) were staged as stage III, with a survival probability of 70.6%.

conclusionThe application of TG in the PBCR in Mato Grosso proved feasible, allowing for comparability of survival estimates across different stages. However, collecting tier 2 staging information will be a challenge for the PBCR due to incomplete information in medical records.
