Clinical outcome of pediatric medulloblastoma patients with Li-Fraumeni syndrome.
Article in Neuro-oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
backgroundThe prognosis for Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) patients with medulloblastoma (MB) is poor. Comprehensive clinical data for this patient group is lacking, challenging the development of novel therapeutic strategies. Here, we present clinical and molecular data on a retrospective cohort of pediatric LFS MB patients.
methodsIn this multinational, multicenter retrospective cohort study, LFS patients under 21 years with MB and class 5 or class 4 constitutional TP53 variants were included. TP53 mutation status, methylation subgroup, treatment, progression free- (PFS) and overall survival (OS), recurrence patterns, and incidence of subsequent neoplasms were evaluated.
resultsThe study evaluated 47 LFS individuals diagnosed with MB, mainly classified as DNA methylation subgroup "SHH_3" (86%). The majority (74%) of constitutional TP53 variants represented missense variants. The 2- and 5-year (y-) PFS were 36% and 20%, and 2- and 5y-OS were 53% and 23%, respectively. Patients who received postoperative radiotherapy (RT) (2y-PFS: 44%, 2y-OS: 60%) or chemotherapy before RT (2y-PFS: 32%, 2y-OS: 48%) had significantly better clinical outcome then patients who were not treated with RT (2y-PFS: 0%, 2y-OS: 25%). Patients treated according to protocols including high-intensity chemotherapy and patients who received only maintenance-type chemotherapy showed similar outcomes (2y-PFS: 42% and 35%, 2y-OS: 68% and 53%, respectively).
conclusionsLFS MB patients have a dismal prognosis. In the presented cohort use of RT significantly increased survival rates, whereas chemotherapy intensity did not influence their clinical outcome. Prospective collection of clinical data and development of novel treatments are required to improve the outcome of LFS MB patients.
