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

The aim of our study was to investigate the correlation of the clinical characteristic of pineal parenchymal tumors in children and adolescent with histopathological diagnosis and patient survival. Records of 27 patients with histologically diagnosed pineocytomas (n=16) and pineoblastoma (n=11) consecutively treated between 1991 and 2001 were reviewed retrospectively to identify factors predictive of aggressiveness. Among analyzed epidemiological, clinical, and radiological factors, we found that independent prognostic indicator in patients with childhood pineal parenchymal tumor was the extent of surgical resection.
