Review in Current oncology reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

purpose of reviewGermline genetic variants contribute to a substantial proportion of cases of cancer in childhood. The purpose of this review is to describe two emerging pediatric cancer predisposition syndromes, including published surveillance protocols, as well as the psychological impacts related to childhood cancer predisposition. RECENT

findingsDICER1 syndrome is pleotropic, predisposing to a variety of tumors and likely phenotypically broader than currently realized. Rhabdoid tumor predisposition syndrome carries a risk for development of aggressive malignancies occurring in nearly any tissue. New pediatric hereditary cancer syndromes are likely to be identified as genetic evaluation evolves. Advantages and disadvantages of genetic testing and surveillance protocols need to be discussed with patients and families in a team-based approach, with the input of a genetic counselor holding expertise in pediatric cancer predisposition. Finally, literature on psychosocial impacts of hereditary cancer syndromes in pediatric patients is sparse, necessitating further research.
