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

backgroundWilms tumors (WT) are the most common kidney tumors in children, with excellent survival rates (90%). However, late adverse effects warrant attention. Limited data exist on musculoskeletal sequelae in WT survivors. We aimed to assess the prevalence and determinants of impaired bone mineral density (BMD) and fractures in a national cohort of Dutch WT survivors.

methodThis cross-sectional study includes WT survivors treated between 1963 and 2002, recruited as part of the DCCSS-LATER cohort between 2016 and 2020. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans were used to assess BMD. Low BMD was defined as a Z-score ≤ 1. From 5 years after diagnosis, fracture prevalence was assessed by questionnaires. Univariable logistic regression was used to analyze associations between impaired BMD as well as fractures with independent variables like patient characteristics, treatments, comorbidities, and lifestyle-related factors.

resultsOf 437 invited kidney tumor survivors, 233 WT survivors participated (median age 32.1 years, median follow-up 27.8 years). DXA scans and fracture data were available for 173 and 221 WT survivors, respectively. Low BMD at any site was observed in 26% (n = 46/173) of survivors and was significantly associated with treatment including ≥ 4 drugs (OR 2.76; 95% CI = 1.13-6.70). Abdominal radiotherapy doses > 30 Gy (OR 4.84; 95% CI = 1.06-22.2) were significantly associated with low lumbar spine BMD. The prevalence of fragility fractures was 16.3% (n = 36/221). The standardized incidence ratio (SIR) of any first fracture was 2.34 for males and 5.38 for females.

conclusionWilms tumor survivors treated with ≥ 4 drugs or abdominal radiotherapy (> 30 Gy) seem to be at increased risk of impaired BMD; this could indicate the need for surveillance for this subset of Wilms tumor survivors exposed to these treatment regimens in the past.
