Re-irradiation of Pediatric Medulloblastoma: A Case Report and Systematic Review.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Despite the optimal treatment given to children with medulloblastoma, many relapses are seen after combining treatments. Re-irradiation is part of salvage therapy for children who relapse and might provide long-term disease control. Nevertheless, it is challenging because there is a concern about exceeding radiation tolerances and late treatment toxicities. Re-irradiation is an option for many brain tumors, including medulloblastoma in children. This study presents a case of recurrent medulloblastoma treated with re-irradiation. A systematic review of the literature provided up-to-date data on the re-irradiation of medulloblastoma in children. This study aims to contribute to the scarce literature on the treatment strategy, which may help improve patients' outcomes.
