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

Medulloblastoma with melanotic differentiation, a rare variant of medulloblastoma, often carries a poor prognosis. We present such a case of a 4 year male with this rare, aggressive tumor. Additionally, we have reviewed the literature and report on the features important in the pathologic and radiologic diagnosis in this type of tumor, as well as review clinical outcomes. This subtype of medulloblastoma occurs more frequently in males, at a younger median age than the other subtypes of medulloblastoma. The prognosis is generally very poor. However, it is important to note, that a subset of patients with M0 disease who can achieve a gross total resection followed by radiation and platinum based chemotherapy can become long term survivors of this aggressive subtype of medulloblastoma.
