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

introductionDesmoplastic infantile tumors, especially desmoplastic astrocytomas, are uncommon neoplasms that are generally seen within first 2 years of life. Their occurrence in slightly older children is very rare. The typical radiological appearance is a large cystic lesion with small enhancing solid part. CASE: In the present report, we describe a 10-year-old child with atypical appearance of desmoplastic non-infantile astrocytoma which was predominantly solid on imaging.

conclusionAlthough rare, desmoplastic astrocytomas may present even in older children and should be considered in the differential diagnoses. These tumors may present as predominantly solid enhancing lesions and add to the radiological dilemma.
