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

introductionPineal, sellar and suprasellar tumours in children comprise a wide range of diseases with different biological behaviours and clinical management. Neuroimaging plays a critical role in the diagnosis, treatment planning and follow up of these patients, but imaging interpretation can prove challenging due to the significant overlap in radiological features. MATERIALS AND

methodA review of the literature was performed by undertaking a search of the MEDLINE and EMBASE databases for appropriate MeSH terminology. Identified abstracts were screened for inclusion and articles meeting the objectives of the review were included. RESULTS AND

conclusionIn this article, we review radiological appearances of common and uncommon pineal, sellar and suprasellar tumours occurring in the paediatric population. We discuss the importance of anatomical localization, clinical information and cerebrospinal fluid tumour markers, and propose a practical approach to differential diagnosis. Lastly, we discuss future directions and prospective new imaging strategies to support state-of-the-art patient care.
