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

Intracranial germinomas comprise 0.5-2.0 % of all central nervous system (CNS) tumors and 50-60 % of CNS germ cell tumors. They most frequently originate in the pineal gland and the suprasellar region. The corpus callosum is an extremely uncommon location for germinoma formation. Herein, we report about a 20-year-old man with a germinoma centered at the corpus callosum and that extended to both cerebral hemispheres. In addition to its location, this case is unique in that the amount of tumor cells with rhabdoid morphology exceeded that of tumor cells with typical morphology. The rhabdoid cell component showed an immunophenotype compatible with germinoma. While the presence of rhabdoid cells is generally regarded as a sign of aggressive behavior, the patient has been doing well for at least 4 years since undergoing radiation therapy and chemotherapy. The cellular composition of germinoma might not critically affect prognosis with adequate treatment.
