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

backgroundThe registry-based collection of detailed cancer and late effect (LE) data in childhood and adolescent cancer (CAC) is rarely explored.

aimWe aimed to provide an overview of CAC registration practices in Europe and share a Slovenian example.

methodsWe distributed a questionnaire among European cancer registries on disease, treatment and LE registration and present the system at the Slovenian Cancer Registry along with an example of retrospectively collected LE data from a cohort of central nervous system tumour survivors from 1983 to 2000. Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression were used to calculate the LE incidence.

resultsOut of 27 responding registries, over 80% registered cancer type, vital status, death and second primary cancer data. Less than 20% registered cumulative doses of radiation and systemic therapy or progressions. Only three registered LEs. The obstacles in setting up LE collection in registries are a lack of standardization in the variable sets, definitions and methods of collection. In the retrospective cohort, neurological and endocrine LEs were most common. Females had a higher risk of endocrine LEs (HR of 1.89; 95% CI of 1.08-3.31), while patients treated with radiotherapy had higher risks of endocrine (3.47; 1.80-6.69), musculoskeletal and skin LEs (3.16; 1.60-6.26) and second primary cancers (2.85; 1.18-6.75).

conclusionsStandardization and harmonization are necessary to promote detailed CAC and LE registration.
