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 tumor (WT) rupture is a serious complication that upstages the disease and requires treatment intensification. This study evaluates clinical characteristics, radiological-pathological concordance, and survival outcomes of ruptured versus non-ruptured WT at a major Middle Eastern tertiary center.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study of 111 pediatric patients with unilateral WT treated at King Hussein Cancer Center, Jordan, between October 2014 and December 2023 (follow-up to December 2025). Tumor rupture was defined by preoperative CT findings (peritumoral effusion, hemorrhage, or peritoneal nodules), intraoperative capsular breach/spillage, or pathological confirmation. Event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated using Kaplan-Meier methods and compared with the log-rank test. Multivariable Cox regression identified independent prognostic factors.

resultsTumor rupture occurred in 17 patients (15.3%). Ruptured cases were older (median 4.2 vs. 3.5 years,

conclusionWT rupture is associated with advanced disease at presentation and significantly inferior survival. Substantial discordance between preoperative radiological/intraoperative findings and post-chemotherapy pathology highlights the "masking effect" of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. A multidisciplinary approach integrating initial imaging, surgical notes, and histology is essential to avoid undertreatment in SIOP-based protocols.
