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

Chordoma is a rare midline malignant tumor arising from embryonic remnants of the primitive notochord. The base of the skull is the second most common site of disease after the sacrococcygeal region. Intracranial chordoma constitutes about 30-35% of chordoma cases. Metastasis from chordoma is uncommon but if occurs, it tends to spread to the lungs. Cerebrospinal fluid seeding or drop metastasis is very rare. Here we describe a case of a clival chordoma with drop metastases.
