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

Assessing tumor response is a large part of everyday clinical work in neuroradiology. However in the setting of tumor treatment, distinguishing tumor progression from treatment-related changes is difficult on conventional MRI sequences. This is made even more challenging in children where mainstay advanced imaging techniques that are often used to decipher progression versus treatment-related changes have technical limitations. In this review, we highlight the challenges in pediatric neuro-oncologic tumor assessment with discussion of pseudophenomenon including pseudoresponse and pseudoprogression. Additionally, we discuss the advanced imaging techniques often employed in neuroradiology to distinguish between pseudophenomenon and true progressive disease.
