Long-term Survivors of Childhood Brain Tumors: Impact on General Health and Quality of Life.
Review in Current neurology and neuroscience reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
purpose of reviewWe review and summarize the key issues affecting general health and quality of life (QOL) of pediatric long-term survivors of brain tumors. RECENT
findingsLong-term survivors of brain tumors are at risk of considerable late morbidity and mortality. Lengthening survival in brain tumors has highlighted the deep impact of tumor and its treatment on the physical, psychological, functional, and social health and QOL of these survivors. Evolution in tumor therapy including surgery, radiotherapy, and systemic therapies, etc., has the potential to mitigate this impact to some extent. Sensitization of health staff, policy makers, and the primary designers of clinical trials towards integration of QOL end points while measuring survival in brain tumor patients is the need of the hour. New developments in tumor therapeutics must not only provide quantitative gain but also improve the quality of survival in these long-term survivors. While majority of the issues presented pertain to survivorship in pediatric brain tumor population, similar challenges are likely to exist in young adults surviving brain tumors as well.
