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: The optimal treatment approach for lacrimal gland adenoid cystic carcinoma (LGACC) remains controversial. Objectives: We aim to demonstrate the value of radiotherapy (RT) in the multidisciplinary treatment of LGACC. Design: This was a retrospective cohort study. Methods: This study was conducted on 90 patients with LGACC treated from 2002 to 2023. We compared the overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), recurrence-free survival (RFS), and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) between those treated with surgery alone versus surgery plus postoperative radiotherapy (PORT). In addition, the ipsilateral visual outcome and ocular complications were evaluated. Results: The addition of radiotherapy significantly improved the 5-year RFS (63.4% vs 31.1%, Conclusion: Surgery plus radiotherapy is a safe and effective multidisciplinary treatment in improving local control with tolerable long-term ocular toxicity, but of limited impact on OS for LGACC.
