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

backgroundDisseminated diffuse midline glioma (DMG) is a devastating diagnosis. Molecular subtyping has increased our understanding of this tumor. CASE: Here, we report the case of an 8-year-old girl who presented with symptoms of brainstem dysfunction and was found to have disseminated DMG with lesions in the pons, thalamus and bilateral temporal lobes. Molecular subtyping of the temporal lobe tumor tissue was consistent with H3 K27me3 loss and EZHIP overexpression, falling under the newly designated "H3 K27-altered" AQ5WHO subtype of DMG. Pathology from biopsy of the orbital lesion showed poorly differentiated rhabdoid-like disseminated tumor cells. The patient went on to develop lesions in the peritoneum, infratemporal fossa, and along the lumbosacral nerve roots.

conclusionThis unique case illustrates the aggressive behavior of H3 K27-altered tumors and their potential to metastasize.
