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

backgroundAs larger population-based studies assessing neoplasm risk in neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) are limited, we aimed to evaluate overall neoplasm risk, specific cancer types, and second primary cancers.

methodsUsing Danish registries and clinical databases, we identified 2053 individuals with NF1 and 20,530 population comparisons. We calculated cumulative incidences for first and second primary neoplasms for the study population born 1971-2020 and for adult-onset cancers in the study population born 1951-2020. We used multistate models to estimate the probabilities of being neoplasm-free, having one neoplasm, having ≥two neoplasms or being dead at a certain age.

resultsThe 50-year cumulative incidence of any first neoplasm was 27.2% (95% confidence interval [CI] 23.1-31.4%) for NF1 individuals and 5.0% (4.0-6.0%) for comparisons. Moreover, the cumulative incidence of second primary neoplasm was 21.1% (14.4-27.8%) for NF1 individuals and 6.4% (0.0-15.0%) for comparisons 20 years after the first neoplasm. A person born with NF1 had a 69.8% (65.6-74.2%) probability of being alive and without neoplasm history at age 50 compared to 93.5% (92.4-94.6%) for a person without NF1.

conclusionThe highly increased risks for primary and secondary neoplasms and mortality warrant close clinical surveillance of individuals with NF1.
