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

objectivesOpsoclonus myoclonus ataxia (OMA) syndrome, also known as "Kinsbourne syndrome" or "dancing eye syndrome," is a rare, paraneoplastic entity which may be associated with pediatric neuroblastic tumors and carry a grave prognosis. We aimed to evaluate the role of

methodsWe retrospectively evaluated the

resultsOf 38 patients (13 males, 25 females, aged 3-96 months), 18 (47.3%) had SSTR-expressing lesions (PET-positive), and histopathology revealed neuroblastic tumors in 17/18 lesions (neuroblastoma 14, ganglioneuroblastoma 2, and ganglioneuroma 1) and reactive hyperplasia in 1/18. The remaining 20/38 (52.6%) patients did not demonstrate SSTR-expressing lesions (PET-negative) and had an uneventful follow-up. The average SUVmax of the PET-positive lesions was 10.3 (range 2.8-34.5). The PET/CT results revealed 17 true-positive, one false-positive, 20 true-negative, and zero false-negative. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy were 100%, 95.2%, 94.4%, 100%, and 97.3% respectively.

conclusionsKEY POINTS: • Opsoclonus myoclonus ataxia (OMA) syndrome or "dancing eye syndrome" is a rare paraneoplastic entity which may be associated with pediatric neuroblastic tumors with a grave prognosis. •
