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

Pediatric sarcoma includes a diverse group of pathologies classified, based on the cell of origin, as primary bone or soft tissue sarcomas. Radiotherapy plays an integral role in the multidisciplinary approach required for optimal therapy in these patients. The particular challenges faced by the radiation oncologist while treating these patients include the age of the patient and the location of these tumors, as they are very often adjacent to critical or growing organs. Technical advances in radiation oncology, including highly conformal planning and improved tumor delineation, may allow a reduction in radiation related toxicities with excellent tumor control. In this chapter, the role of radiotherapy will be reviewed as well as modern technologies that are currently available and under development, with an emphasis on the application of these strategies in the pediatric and young adult population.
