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

Context: Few data exist regarding larotrectinib therapy in pediatric Objective: To describe redifferentiation effects and disease outcomes in patients with stage 2 pediatric PTC following treatment with larotrectinib ± RAI. Methods: A retrospective case series at a tertiary cancer center of patients with Results: Four patients (aged 6-16 years at PTC diagnosis; 50% female) were treated with larotrectinib 100 mg twice a day for a median of 14 months (range 6-30 months). Treatment was well tolerated, except for grade 3 hypocalcemia in 1 patient with pre-existing hypoparathyroidism. All patients had tumor shrinkage (-25% to -100%) in target and nontarget pulmonary metastases. On diagnostic Conclusion: Although larotrectinib can have a redifferentiation effect in pediatric
