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

Neuroblastoma is the most common childhood malignancy arising from the sympathetic neuroblast cells. The most common sites of origin are the adrenal glands and paravertebral regions. However, the involvement of the heart is a rare occurrence in adolescents. Here, we report a case of a 12-year-old male child who was misdiagnosed as a case of cardiac myxoma on initial presentation. Following surgical resection and histological examination, neuroblastoma was revealed. This case report highlights the differential diagnosis for the cardiac mass in an adolescent with an unknown primary origin and also the importance of tissue histopathology for the diagnosis and management of neuroblastoma.
