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

Medulloblastoma, the most common pediatric malignant brain tumor, continues to have a high rate of morbidity and mortality in childhood. Recent advances in cancer genomics, single-cell sequencing, and sophisticated tumor models have revolutionized the characterization and stratification of medulloblastoma. In this review, we discuss heterogeneity associated with four major subgroups of medulloblastoma (WNT, SHH, Group 3, and Group 4) on the molecular and cellular levels, including histological features, genetic and epigenetic alterations, proteomic landscape, cell-of-origin, tumor microenvironment, and therapeutic approaches. The intratumoral molecular heterogeneity and intertumoral cellular diversity clearly underlie the divergent biology and clinical behavior of these lesions and highlight the future role of precision treatment in this devastating brain tumor in children.
