Nimotuzumab therapy in the treatment of pediatric central nervous system tumors: single-center experience.
Article in Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's archives of pharmacology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Relapsed or refractory central nervous system (CNS) tumors still have poor prognosis, and, therefore, new treatment options are required. We retrospectively researched treatment results of patients with CNS tumors treated with nimotuzumab from 2010 to 2015. The study included nine patients with the diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma; eight with medulloblastoma; three each with anaplastic ependymoma, glioblastoma multiforme, and central nervous system primitive neuroectodermal tumor (CNS PNET); two patients with gliomatosis cerebri; and one patient each with other tumor types, including atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor, thalamic astrocytoma, low-grade glial tumor, high-grade glial tumor, and cribriform neuroepithelial tumor. An objective response was observed in 10 of 33 patients with four patients showing a complete response, three a partial response, and three patients had stable disease. The 2-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 35 ±9% and 19 ±8%, respectively. Due to the objective response in medulloblastoma, CNS PNET, and anaplastic ependymoma (MED group), survival rates of this group were analyzed. The 2-year OS and PFS for the MED group were 71 ±12% and 30 ±13%, respectively. The treatment was well tolerated. The treatment responses for medulloblastoma, CNS PNET, and anaplastic ependymoma have been promising. Likewise, some patients with relapsed or progressive CNS tumors may benefit through nimotuzumab-containing regimen.
