Primary bulbo-medullary glioblastoma in a child: case report.
Article in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Glioblastoma (GBM) of the spinal cord represents a rare entity in children and account for less than 1% of all central nervous system (CNS) cancers. Their biology, localization, and controversial treatment options have been discussed in a few pediatric cases. Here, we report a case of primary spinal cord glioblastoma in a 5-year-old girl having the particularity to be extended to the brainstem. This tumor has been revealed by torticollis and bilateral brachial paresis. The patient underwent subtotal resection; unfortunately, she died in reanimation 1 week later by severe pneumopathy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case in the literature reporting this particular localization in a child. Beyond their dismal prognosis, we discuss the rarity of the disease and describe the peculiar characteristics, management, and prognosis of this rare tumor in pediatric oncology. This case appears to be unusual for both the histological type and the extension to brain stern.
