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

backgroundThe correlations of epidemiological characteristics and clinical outcomes with different tumor sites in patients with intracranial typical site germinomas (ICTSGs) have not yet been well established. We analyzed ICTSGs using a multicenter database, focusing on its demographic, management patterns, and long-term survival outcomes.

methodsPatients diagnosed with ICTSGs were selected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End-Results (SEER) database. Demographic information and management patterns of ICTSGs were extracted for data analysis stratified by different tumor sites. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to evaluate the survival outcome stratified by treatment, tumor site and tumor size.

resultsAmong the 327 patients enrolled in the study, 16.21% had tumors located in the suprasellar region and 83.79% in the pineal region. The proportion of males was significantly higher among pineal germinomas (94.16 vs 66.04%;

conclusionsDespite significant differences in epidemiology and management, pineal and suprasellar germinomas had a similar long-term clinical outcome.
