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

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a rare primary brain tumor in children, and extracranial metastases of pediatric GBM are particularly uncommon. We present the case of a 10-year-old girl with pediatric GBM who developed multiple extracranial metastases, including cervical lymph nodes, spine, and lung. We discuss the rarity of extracranial metastases in GBM and explore possible mechanisms of dissemination. The patient underwent surgical resections, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, but the metastatic disease progressed despite treatment. We emphasize the need to consider extracranial metastases in pediatric GBM patients and adopt multimodal treatment approaches for managing this rare clinical entity. As the survival rates of pediatric GBM patients are improving, awareness of extracranial metastases is crucial for optimizing treatment outcomes.
