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

backgroundEmbryonal central nervous system (CNS) tumors are currently classified into three types: medulloblastoma, atypical rhabdoid/teratoid tumors, and primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET). A distinctive subtype of PNET called "embryonal tumor with abundant neuropil and true rosettes" (ETANTR) was reported in 2000. DISCUSSION: ETANTR is a recently described variety of PNET that combines microscopic features of neuroblastoma and ependymoblastoma, demonstrating areas of fine fibrillary neuropil intermingled with cellular zones and ependymoblastic rosettes. It has been suggested that this neoplasm should be considered as a separate entity. ETANTR is an eminently pediatric tumor that has been reported exclusively in children younger than 4 years. ILLUSTRATIVE CASES: A 9-month-old girl underwent subtotal resection of a brainstem neoplasm. A 23-month-old girl was submitted to surgery for a frontoparietal tumor. In both instances, the histopathological diagnosis confirmed ETANTR. Both children were treated with chemotherapy and one with radiotherapy. Death in both patients occurred after a mean period of 10 months.

conclusionsBy reporting these two new instances of ETANTR, we want to contribute to the knowledge of this highly malignant CNS embryonal neoplasm that occurs only in young children, given its present lethal prognosis, the scarcity of reported cases, and the lack of treatment guidelines.
