Second-look surgery in postoperative pediatric low-grade glioma.
Review in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo review the literature on second-look surgery in pediatric low-grade gliomas (LGG) with a view to presenting both sides of the picture of re-exploration.
methodsCollection of material from recent literature on pediatric LGG. This was a retrospective review of these publications.
resultsThere are a number of publications recommending second-look surgery in selected cases, provided morbidity of the second surgery is minimum, and indeed some in which there is improvement in the neurodeficit after the second resection.
conclusionThere seems a fair balance of articles recommending and dissuading the practice of second-look surgery, but in our limited experience we have found it useful in selected patients.
