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 comprise 10% of pediatric brain tumors. Subfrontal recurrence is uncommon and has been associated with prone positioning, inadequate irradiation of the cribriform plate area, and hydrocephalus management. We discuss the case report of an 8-year-old boy with subfrontal medulloblastoma recurrence. The literature was reviewed using terms such as "medulloblastoma," "subfrontal recurrence," and "child." Forty-eight cases of subfrontal medulloblastoma recurrence were identified. The mean age at presentation was 12.3 years. Gross total resection was achieved in 44%, most patients received adjuvant radiation therapy, and approximately 25% received chemotherapy. The mean recurrence interval was 2.6 years. The mean number of recurrences per patient was 1.2 and the mean survival period was 3.3 years. Even in the case of meticulous resection and sufficient irradiation, recurrences may still occur. Our case indicates that resection of the recurrent lesion and repeat irradiation may benefit patients with satisfactory short-term results.
