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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesParaneoplastic neurologic syndromes (PNSs) are remote neurologic immune-related effects of tumors. The clinical characteristics of pediatric PNSs remain unclear. We retrospectively examined the clinical characteristics of cases of pediatric PNSs and assessed the performance of the 2021 diagnostic criteria in children.

methodsPatients hospitalized in the Beijing Children's Hospital between June 2015 and June 2023 and fulfilling the description of

resultsAmong the 42 patients included, the most common neurologic syndrome was opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome (OMS) (62%), followed by rapidly progressive cerebellar syndrome (26%). Most tumors were neuroblastomas (88%), with few being ovarian teratomas (10%). Approximately 71% (30/42) of patients were classified as definite and 24% (10/42) as DISCUSSION: OMS followed by rapidly progressive cerebellar ataxia are the most common forms of PNSs in children and are associated with neuroblastoma. An aggressive approach with multiple immunotherapies may improve the prognosis of neuroblastoma-associated PNSs. The 2021 criteria perform well in pediatric PNSs. However, we propose upgrading the classification of antibody-negative rapidly progressive cerebellar ataxia with neuroblastoma to definite diagnosis. This adjustment aims to further improve the diagnostic efficacy of this diagnostic criterion in childhood.
