Recurring pediatric anaplastic ependymoma with rare peritoneal carcinomatosis: a case report and hypothesis of mechanism.
Article in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundAlthough recurrent anaplastic ependymoma in pediatric patients is not uncommon, recurrent disease leading to widespread metastases to the peritoneum is extremely rare. CASE REPORT: We present a case of an 18-month old male who initially presented with posterior fossa anaplastic ependymoma, who then proceeded to present 1 year later with spinal recurrence, and then 2 years after that with widespread disease involving the intracranial ventricular system and peritoneum.
conclusionWe posit that surgical interventions to treat primary and recurrent presentations in combination with a conduit to the peritoneum via a ventriculoperitoneal shunt contributed to the mechanisms of this complex case.
