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

Recurrent ependymomas are considered rarely responsive to chemotherapy and often have a dismal prognosis after tumor progression. Below is a brief report of a 6 year old child with a multiply progressive ependymoma whose tumor had a near complete response to sirolimus that was durable for 18 months. Immunohistochemistry for phosphorylated S6, which has been reported to be associated with tumor sensitivity to mTORC1 inhibitors, was positive in this patient's tumor.
