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

Wilms tumor (WT) is the most common pediatric renal malignancy. The standard treatment approach of surgical resection and cytotoxic chemotherapy has led to excellent outcomes for most patients, particularly those with favorable histology, with a 4-year overall survival of more than 90%. However, cases of multiply relapsed WT have dismal outcomes with limited effective options. Little is known about the role of precision-targeted therapy in recurrent Wilms tumor. We previously reported a pediatric patient with recurrent pulmonary metastatic favorable histology WT with a BRAF V600E mutation, who was successfully treated with BRAF/MEK inhibition. Here we provide an update on this patient's course, seven years from the identification of the second pulmonary metastatic relapse and initiation of genomically informed treatment. Following five years of treatment, the patient now remains disease-free for two years following discontinuation of targeted therapy, which was well tolerated without major adverse events. This report presents the first case of long-term survival after targeted therapy for multiply relapsed BRAF V600E WT.
