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

introductionCancer-prone genetic disorders are responsible for brain tumors in a considerable proportion of children. Additionally, rare genetic syndromes associated to cancer development may potentially disclose genetic mechanisms related to oncogenesis.

methodWe describe two pediatric patients with encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis (ECCL), a very rare genetic syndrome with around 60 reported cases, which developed low-grade astrocytoma at 3 and 12 years of age.

resultsPatients with ECCL seem to be at risk of benign forms of osseous tumors such as ossifying fibromas, odontomas, and osteomas.

conclusionThe association between brain tumor and ECCL was previously reported only once, in a pediatric case of a mixed neuronal-glial histology. Whether ECCL may be a genetic condition of predisposing brain tumor in children strongly needs to be addressed.
