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

introductionPilocytic astrocytoma, a World Health Organization grade 1 tumor, is the most common brain tumor in children between 5 and 14 years of age and the second most common in children younger than 5 and older than 14. Although classical to the cerebellum and hypothalamic regions, it can also arise in the spinal cord. Larotrectinib, a selective inhibitor of tropomyosin receptor kinase, has been effective in pediatric tumors with NTRK fusion mutations in children as young as 1-month-old. CASE: We share the case of a 9-month-old boy who presented with a 4-month history of regression of his milestones and severe constipation who was found to have a large spinal pilocytic astrocytoma with multiple intracranial periventricular lesions.
