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

purposeDespite being the most common pediatric solid tumors, incidence and outcome of CNS tumors in Chinese children have not been systematically reported. We addressed this knowledge gap by comparing the epidemiology of pediatric CNS tumors in Hong Kong and the United States. PATIENTS AND

methodsData between 1999 and 2016 from a population-based cancer registry in Hong Kong, China, on patients < 18 years old with CNS tumors (Hong Kong cohort) and from the US SEER Program (Asian/Pacific Islander and all ethnicities) were compared. Incidence and overall survival (OS) by histology were evaluated.

resultsDuring the study period, 526 children were newly diagnosed with CNS tumors in Hong Kong (crude incidence rate, 2.47 per 100,000; 95% CI, 2.26 to 2.69). Adjusted incidences were significantly lower in the Hong Kong (2.51; 95% CI, 2.30 to 2.74) than in the SEER (Asian/Pacific Islander: 3.26; 95% CI, 2.97 to 3.57;

conclusionWe identified important ethnic differences in the epidemiology of CNS tumors in Chinese children. These results will inform the development of pediatric neuro-oncology services in China and aid further etiologic studies.
