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

purposeWilms tumor (WT) is the most common renal neoplasm in children and the third most common pediatric cancer globally. Though survival rates exceed 90% in high-income countries, it is suboptimal in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) due to late presentation, advanced disease stages, and limited healthcare access. We retrospectively analyzed WT patients undergoing definitive surgery between 2011 and 2023 from a single LMIC institution.

methodsPatients were classified into Group I (upfront surgery as per COG guidelines) and Group II (neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery as per SIOP guidelines). Surgical outcomes, post-operative morbidity, and oncological outcomes, including overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS), were analyzed. Thirty-six patients were included: ten in Group I and twenty-six in Group II.

resultsSignificant post-operative complications occurred in 15.3% of Group II, while none were noted in Group I. Lymph node involvement rates were 10 and 3.8% in Groups I and II, respectively. The 5-year OS and EFS for the cohort were 90.9% (Group I 83%, Group II 92%) and 91.4% (Group I 80%, Group II 96%).

conclusionRisk-adapted strategy, multi-disciplinary decision-making, adherence to international protocols can emulate survival outcomes comparable to high-income countries, even in LMICs.
