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

backgroundAtypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) is a rare pediatric central nervous system malignancy with poor outcome. AT/RT is infrequently located in the spinal cord. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: A 16-month-old boy presented with progressive urinary retention and weakness of the lower extremities. Magnetic resonance imaging of the spine revealed an intradural extramedullary mass occupying the spinal canal at the level of T10-L3. The tumor was successfully resected by using neuroendoscopy. Histopathology demonstrated rhabdoid cells with eccentric nuclei and eosinophilic cytoplasmic hyaline inclusions. Immunohistologically, the tumor cells showed positive for epithelial membrane antigen, vimentin and neuron-specific enolase, and negative for integrase interactor 1. After surgery, the patient showed significant improvement in sitting and other neurological signs but presenting with flaccid neurogenic bladder. Intrathecal chemotherapy under European Rhabdoid Registry (EU-RHAB) protocol with Doxorubicin, Carboplatin, Etoposide, Ifosfamide, Vincristine, Cyclophosphamide and Actinomycin-D was given. However, recurrent intradural extramedullary tumor at the level of T11-L2 developed in 3 months.

conclusionWe report a young Asian case of AT/RT in thoracolumbar spine with recurrent tumor shortly after complete surgical resection of the tumor.
