Central nervous system (CNS) tumor trends in children in a western Canadian province: a population-based 22-year retrospective study.
Article in Journal of neurology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
In Canada, CNS tumors accounted for nearly 22% of the new childhood cancer diagnoses during 1995-2000 in the ≤ 15 year age group. The study's objective was to describe children and youth (age <20 years) diagnosed with CNS tumors in Alberta, Canada during a 22-year period using population-based data. The Alberta Cancer registry was used to extract information, including sex, age and geography, on all CNS (ICCC-3 III) tumor diagnoses during April 1, 1982, and March 31, 2004. Analyses included population summaries and rates. During 22 fiscal years, 568 Alberta children were diagnosed with CNS tumors and nearly 82% of the cases were malignant (461). The majority of cases were male (322, 57%) and the median age at diagnosis was 8 years. The crude rate per 100,000 children increased over the study period from 2.1 in 1983/1984 to 4.2 in 2003/2004. Astrocytoma was the most common diagnosis (257, 45%), followed by medulloblastoma (12%), mixed and unspecified glioma (9%) and ependymoma (9%). There were 86 diagnoses of juvenile pilocytic astrocytoma (55% male) and the crude rates per 100,000 increased during the study (<0.5 in the early years to 1.15 in 2003/2004). Our data suggests an emerging trend with the latter few years having a seemingly higher standardized incidence rate than earlier years. Further study is required to determine if the trend persists.
