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: Children's Oncology Group ACNS0333 treated atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) with surgery, chemotherapy (induction and consolidation) and radiation therapy (RT). M0 had focal RT and M+ had physician-selected focal RT or craniospinal (CSI). Methods: Forty patients (29 M0, 11 M+) received RT. Pre-RT chemotherapy response was complete, partial, or stable disease. RT timing (age/stage-based) was pre-consolidation (RT-first) or post-consolidation (consolidation-first). Event-free survival (RT-EFS), overall survival (RT-OS), and cumulative incidence of local relapse (CILR) or distant relapse (RT-CIDR) were calculated. Analyses included log-rank tests and relative hazard rates with 95% confidence intervals to estimate proportional hazards regression. Results: Four-year RT-EFS was 56.8% and 4-year RT-OS was 58.8% focal RT: 34 patients, CSI: 6 patients). A trend for superior RT-EFS for M+ compared to M0 ( Conclusions: RT with intensive systemic therapy showed promising survival outcomes and effective primary disease control in ATRT. Sequencing RT prior to myeloblative chemotherapy, rather than post-consolidation, may be associated with increased risk of fatal radionecrosis.
