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

Pediatric intracranial sarcomas are rare, aggressive tumors with a poor prognosis in general. Here we report the case of a child who was initially diagnosed with a primary intracranial sarcoma, DICER1-mutant; subsequent genetic analyses confirmed a pathogenic germline DICER1 mutation. She received multimodal standard treatments consisting of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The tumor recurred 2.5 years later within the surgical cavity. Following the gross tumor resection of this new lesion, the same multimodal standard approach was used. From a molecular perspective, evidence of hyperactivation of the MAPK-kinase pathway with a pathogenic KRAS mutation at both diagnosis and recurrence was present. The patient is currently in remission, 18 months post-end of treatment.
