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

Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial, intrabdominal, suprarenal solid tumor of childhood. It usually presents with painless abdominal mass with or without abdominal pain. We report an unusual subtle cervical lymph nodes enlargement associated with fever and joint pain. Neuroblastoma usually starts in the adrenal glands. What is unique in our case is that the presentation is without a primary tumor. We present a case of 4-year-old female Egyptian complaining of recurrent pattern of fever and generalized joint pain, with lower neck swelling for 1-month duration. Laboratory investigations revealed a normochromic normocytic anemia and increased inflammatory markers. Immunohistochemistry staining and immunophenotyping of the cervical lymph nodes and bone marrows confirmed the diagnosis of Neuroblastoma. This case report highlights the importance of recognizing the possibility of a metastatic neuroblastoma without primary tumor in children who presented solely of lymphadenopathy.
