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/

objectivesIn bilateral nephroblastoma and high-risk neuroblastoma in children with extensive tumor involvement of the renal vessels or pedicle, complete tumor resection with preservation of healthy renal tissue is not feasible with in situ nephron-sparing surgery or vascular replacement. The aim of this study was to present our experience with ante situ tumor resection and renal autotransplantation (RATX) in these children.

methodsA retrospective study of children with bilateral nephroblastoma and high-risk neuroblastoma who underwent tumor resection and RATX at an international referral center for pediatric surgical oncology between 2006 and 2024 was performed. RATX was performed by transection of renal vessels, ante situ mobilization, and perfusion of the kidney with Bretschneider's solution. Tumor resection was performed on a bloodless kidney under hypothermia.

resultsAnte situ tumor resection and RATX were performed at a median age of 36 months (range 13-62) in 4 children with bilateral nephroblastoma and 4 children with high-risk neuroblastoma. Complete tumor resection was achieved in all patients. One patient with neuroblastoma died of sepsis after 14 days. The 7 surviving patients showed no evidence of disease and normal to slightly decreased glomerulofiltration rates at a median follow-up of 20 months (range 3-155). Limitations include the retrospective design, small sample size, and heterogeneity of the study population due to very rare indication.

conclusionsAnte situ tumor resection and RATX is a feasible surgical approach for children with multifocal bilateral nephroblastoma or high-risk neuroblastoma who are ineligible for in situ nephron-sparing surgery or vascular reconstruction.
