Gamma knife radiosurgery for treatment resistant choroid plexus papillomas.
Article in Journal of neuro-oncology, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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.
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
objectiveTo report the results of gamma knife radiosurgery (GKR) for treatment resistant choroid plexus papillomas.
methodsSix patients (median age 55 years; range 29-75) with residual (n = 2) or recurrent (n = 4) choroid plexus papillomas underwent GKR. All failed prior surgery and one failed prior proton beam radiation therapy. These six patients had a total of 11 locally or distant recurrent intracranial tumors. The median and mean tumor volumes were 2.7 and 3.9 cc (range, 0.23-21.1). A median margin dose of 12.0 Gy (range, 11.5-15) was prescribed to the tumor margin.
resultsThe progression-free periods varied from 7 to 108 months (mean: 36.9). Four tumors were stable after GKR but seven showed progression. Four recurrent tumors in two patients were managed with repeat radiosurgery and three were observed. At the second GKR, the tumor volume varied from 1.3 to 12.4 cc, and the marginal radiation dose varied from 11 to 14 Gy. The overall survival after the first GKR varied from 15 to 120 months. Four patients were alive at the end of the study period.
conclusionsRadiosurgery represents an additional management strategy for patients who progress despite surgical removal. It may especially be useful for patients with small deep seated residual choroid plexus papillomas, and for tumors that recur at a site distant from their origin.
