Fifty years of DIPG: looking at the future with hope.
Review in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a primary brainstem tumor of childhood that carries a dismal prognosis, with median survival of less than 1 year. Because of the brain stem location and pattern of growth within the pons, Dr. Harvey Cushing, the father of modern neurosurgery, urged surgical abandonment. Such a dismal prognosis remained unchanged for decades, coupled with a lack of understanding of tumor biology and an unchanging therapeutic panorama. Beyond palliative external beam radiation therapy, no therapeutic approach has been widely accepted. In the last one to two decades, however, increased tissue availability, an improving understanding of biology, genetics, and epigenetics have led to the development of novel therapeutic targets. In parallel with this biological revolution, new methods intended to enhance drug delivery into the brain stem are contributing to a surge of exciting experimental therapeutic strategies.
