The descriptive epidemiology of atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors in the United States, 2001-2010.
Article in Neuro-oncology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 65 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundAtypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor is a rare malignant CNS tumor that most often affects children ≤ 3 years old. The Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States contains the largest aggregation of population-based incidence data for primary CNS tumors in the US. Its data were used to describe the incidence, associated trends, and relative survival after diagnosis of atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor.
methodsUsing data from 50 cancer registries between 2001 and 2010, age-adjusted incidence rates per 100 000 and 95% CIs were calculated by sex, race, Hispanic ethnicity, age at diagnosis, and location of tumor in the CNS for children aged 0 to 19 years. Relative survival rates and 95% CIs were also calculated.
resultsThe average annual age-adjusted incidence rate was 0.07 (95% CI: 0.07, 0.08). Incidence rates did not significantly vary by sex, race, or ethnicity. Age had a strong effect on incidence rate, with highest incidence among children <1 year, and decreasing incidence with increasing age. The 6-month, 1-year, and 5-year relative survival rates for all ages were 65.0%, 46.8%, and 28.3%, respectively. Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor can occur anywhere in the CNS, but supratentorial tumors were more common with increasing age.
conclusionWe confirm differences in survival by age at diagnosis, treatment pattern, and location of tumor in the brain. This contributes to our understanding of these tumors and may stimulate research leading to improved treatment of this devastating childhood disease.
