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

objectiveA rosette-forming glioneuronal tumor (RGNT) is a rare entity originally described in the fourth ventricle. Recently, RGNTs occurring in extraventricular sites and those with malignant behaviors have been reported. The purpose of this study was to analyze the clinicoradiological and histopathological features, therapeutic strategies, and outcomes of RGNTs.

methodsWe enrolled 38 patients diagnosed with RGNTs pathologically between August 2009 and June 2016. CT and MRI, including diffusion-weighted imaging and spectroscopy, were performed. The surgical treatment and histopathological and molecular features were assessed. Additionally, we searched the relevant literatures and performed a pooled analysis of individual patient data. The potential risk factors of prognosis were analyzed.

resultsOur case series included 22 male and 16 female patients, with a mean age of 25.9 years. RGNTs involved the fourth ventricle (26.3%), cerebella (34.2%), supratentorial ventricular system (13.2%), spinal cord (10.5%), temporal lobe (10.5%), thalamus (7.9%), brain stem (7.9%), frontal lobe (5.3%), pineal region (5.3%), suprasellar region (2.6%), and basal ganglia (2.6%). Statistical analyses showed that pediatric age, purely solid appearance of the tumor, and inadequate resection (only partial removal or biopsy) were risk factors associated with progression events. Patients with subtotal resection appeared to do as well as those with gross total resection.

conclusionsRGNTs can occur nearly anywhere in the CNS, at both supratentorial and infratentorial sites. Maximal safe surgical resection should be emphasized for treatment; whilst aggressive resection with the goal of complete resection may be unnecessary.
