The role of neurosurgery in advancing pediatric CNS tumor care worldwide.
Review in Brain & spine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Introduction: There is substantial inequity in survival outcomes for pediatric brain tumor patients residing in high-income countries (HICs) compared to low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). To address disparities in pediatric cancer survival, the World Health Organization (WHO) established the Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer (GICC) to expand quality care for children with cancer. Research question: To provide an overview of pediatric neurosurgical capacity and detail the burden of neurosurgical diseases impacting children. Material and methods: A narrative review of the current context of global pediatric neurosurgical capacity as it relates to neurooncology and other diseases relevant to children. Results: In this article, we provide an overview of pediatric neurosurgical capacity and detail the burden of neurosurgical diseases impacting children. We highlight concerted advocacy and legislative efforts aimed at addressing unmet neurosurgical needs in children. Finally, we discuss the potential implications of advocacy efforts on treating pediatric CNS tumors and outline strategies to improve global outcomes for children with brain tumors worldwide in the context of the WHO GICC. Discussion and conclusion: With both global pediatric oncology and neurosurgical initiatives converging on the treatment of pediatric brain tumors, significant strides toward decreasing the burden of pediatric neurosurgical diseases will hopefully be made.
