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

introductionDysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors (DNET) are classically considered as benign, cortically based tumors that are stable. However, there were case reports that suggested DNET may not be as benign as previously thought. The purpose of our study was to identify atypical location, characteristics, and behavior of DNET in children.

methodsThe MRI images of 51 patients with pathologically proven DNET were retrospectively reviewed. The following were assessed: tumor location, neuroimaging appearances including hemorrhage, calcification and edema, tumor growth preoperatively and after subtotal resection, tumor recurrence, malignant transformation, and metastatic seeding.

resultsTwo (3.9 %) patients had intraventricular lesions, three (5.9 %) had associated edema, three (5.9 %) had calcifications, and one (2 %) had hemorrhage on preoperative CT and MRI. Sixteen of 51 (31.4 %) lesions exhibited enhancement post gadolinium administration. Six of 29 (20.7 %) preoperative lesions that had follow-up imaging were enlarging prior to surgery. In 6 of 18 (33.3 %) with subtotal resection, there was an increase in size of the residual tumor. Tumor recurrence at the surgical bed occurred in 3 of 30 (10 %) patients who had gross total resection. Two of 51 (3.9 %) cases developed secondary lesions distant to the primary tumor; the secondary lesions were within the lateral ventricles.

conclusionIn children, DNET may have atypical location, characteristics and behavior, including growth of primary or residual lesions and multifocal tumor. These findings emphasize the need for follow-up of patients with DNET post-resection.
