Current situation of neuropathology in Central America.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The present situation of neuropathology practice in the Central American region has not been addressed in the past. These are low middle-income countries, and therefore, many do not have a basic immunohistochemistry panel. Cytogenetics and molecular studies are not available in most of Central America. Pediatric brain tumors are diagnosed either by anatomical pathologists or by pediatric pathologists. Access to a weakly Latin American Tumor Board is available to consult cases, but most countries do not participate in these expert meetings. The most recent World Health Organization brain tumor book has a very broad molecular classification of pediatric brain tumors. All these factors make it very difficult to properly diagnose pediatric brain tumors in the region, and this impacts the treatment and overall survival of children with brain tumors.
