Adjuvant treatment of unresectable choroid plexus carcinoma with literature review.
Article in Journal of radiosurgery and SBRT, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Choroid plexus carcinomas are rare and arise from the choroid plexus, with invariably poor prognosis. We report an unusual case of an 8-year old male who presented with symptoms of increased intracranial pressure with radiological evidence of brain intraventricular lesion which was proved to be choroid plexus carcinoma on histopathology and immunohistochemistry. Treatment consisted of limited surgery followed by craniospinal irradiation and boost to the local tumor. Post treatment there was evidence of residual disease with no significant clinical improvement for which patient was managed conservatively with steroids along with chemotherapy with poor outcome. Hence aggressive surgical resection of the tumor is the most relevant prognostic predictor for survival, and is associated with poor prognosis if not completely excised irrespective of adjuvant treatment.
