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

introductionMalignant tumours of the central nervous system (CNS) represent the second most common cancer type in the paediatric population of developed countries, and mortality caused by CNS tumours is the highest among paediatric cancers. Tumours of mesenchymal origin occurring either as primary or secondary lesions of the central nervous system are very rare in children. This paper describes the case of a 5-year-old non-immunocompromised male who presented with a right frontal primary intracranial leiomyosarcoma associated with large subdural collections. DISCUSSION AND

conclusionFollowing surgical excision and adjuvant chemoradiotherapy, the patient has remained disease-free for 18 months. The literature is reviewed and the possible association of the chronic subdurals to the later development of the leiomyosarcoma explored.
