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

While the cure rate of cancer in children has markedly improved in the last few decades, late effects continue to be a problem in survivors. Radiotherapy, which is a major component of treatment in many cancers, is one of the major agents responsible for late toxicity. In the past decade, radiotherapy has been omitted in patients achieving excellent response to chemotherapy, such as in Hodgkin lymphoma and some Wilms tumors with lung metastases. Likewise, response to chemotherapy has been used to determine whether lower doses of radiation can be delivered in intracranial germinoma and pediatric nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Molecular subtyping in medulloblastoma is currently being employed, and in WNT-pathway M0 tumors, the reduction in radiotherapy dose to the craniospinal axis and tumor bed is currently being investigated. Finally, dose escalation was recently evaluated in patients with rhabdomyosarcoma > 5 cm who do not achieve a complete response to initial 9 weeks of chemotherapy as well as for unresectable Ewing sarcoma patients to improve local control.
