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

Over the last few decades, cure rates for pediatric cancer have increased dramatically, and now over 80 % of children with cancer are cured of their disease. This improvement in cure has come with a significant cost, with many children suffering irreversible, life-threatening, or long-lasting toxicities due to the medications required during their treatment. In the last 2 decades, major technological advances in genomics and the mapping of the human genome have made it possible to identify genetic differences between children in order to investigate differing responses to cancer therapy and to help explain why children treated with the same medications can have different outcomes. The emerging field of pharmacogenomics has had many important findings in pediatric cancer. The focus of this review is drug toxicity in pediatric cancer and the use of pharmacogenomics to reduce these adverse drug reactions, with a specific focus on thiopurines, methotrexate, cisplatin, vincristine and anthracyclines. Future areas of research and the need for international collaboration are discussed.
