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

Although the posterior fossa is a common location for paediatric brain tumours [1], diffuse glioma isolated to the cerebellum is an extremely rare imaging entity. Only two cases of isolated diffuse paediatric cerebellar glioma have been reported in the English language to the best of our knowledge [2, 3], and only one of these cases had a similar imaging phenotype to our cases [3]. Although somewhat similar to Lhermitte-Duclos (dysplastic gangliocytoma of the cerebellum), the appearances are distinct from other neoplastic entities of the paediatric posterior fossa. Clinical presentation and neurological examination findings are vital however to help differentiate other diffuse pathologies involving the cerebellum such as rhombencephalitis. Presented here are two diffuse cerebellar gliomas in children under the age of 3 with near identical imaging phenotypes demonstrating differing histological and molecular genetic profiles.
