Surgical management of supratentorial ependymomas.
Review in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionSupratentorial ependymomas are rare neoplasms accounting for just ten to 15 new cases in the UK per year. This article discusses the surgical management of these tumours. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe present our experience over the past 12 years looking, in particular, at the location, histological grading, postoperative complications, survival and progression-free survival. A literature review of publications discussing the surgical management of ependymoma over the past 10 years is then presented.
resultsThe data shows that complete surgical resection confers a significant survival advantage. There appears to be conflicting data with respect to prognosis when comparing supratentorial to infratentorial ependymoma.
conclusionThe authors suggest complete excision and advocate, where appropriate, the use of pre and intra-operative functional mapping and second-look surgery. The trade off neurological deficit in the pursuit of complete surgical excision in some instances should be considered.
