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

Medulloblastomas are rare embryonal primary brain tumours originating in the cerebellum. Most medulloblastomas arising in adults are associated with mutations in the Sonic Hedge Hog (SHH) pathway. Patient 1 was prescribed Sonidegib for recurrent metastatic SHH mutated medulloblastoma multiple lines of treatment. His leptomeningeal disease responded after 3 months of therapy. The drug was continued for a further 3 months until progressive central nervous system (CNS) and leptomeningeal disease arose. Progression free survival (PFS) from initiation of Sonidegib of 3 months was observed (overall survival 8.8 years). Patient 2 presented with un-resectable SHH mutated meduloblastoma with high risk of relapse who received 14 months of adjuvant Sonidegib. Following biopsy she was treated with chemotherapy and cranio-spinal radiotherapy, followed by 14 months of adjuvant Sonigedib. She remains free of disease over 51 months later. Both clinical scenarios are poorly described in the literature or evaluated in clinical trials with Sonidegib.
