Web-based survey of resources for treatment and long-term follow-up for children with brain tumors in developing countries.
Article in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
introductionInformation about pediatric survivors of brain tumors in developing countries is scant. PURPOSE: In this study, we aimed to investigate the availability of resources for treatment and long-term follow-up of children with central nervous system tumors in developing countries. MATERIALS AND
methodsA web-based questionnaire on available services and follow-up of brain tumor survivors was posted at www.cure4kids.org , and registered users were invited to participate.
resultsA total of 140 evaluable responses from developing countries (n = 103) and high-income countries (n = 37) were obtained. There was a significant correlation between gross national income and the availability of services for treatment and follow-up and between patient load and the availability of some services.
conclusionThe resources for treatment and long-term follow-up of children with brain tumors need to be improved in developing countries.
