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

Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor of childhood. Although there is now long-term survival or cure for the majority of children, the survivors bear a significant burden of complications due, at least in part, to the intense therapies given to ensure eradication of the tumor. Significant efforts have been made over the years to be able to distinguish between patients who do and do not need intensive therapies. This review summarizes the history and current state of clinical risk stratification, pathologic diagnosis and genetics. Recent developments in correlation between genetics and pathology, genome-wide association studies and the biology of medulloblastoma metastasis are discussed in detail. The current state of clinical treatment trials are reviewed and placed into the perspective of potential novel therapies in the near term.
