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

Ewing sarcoma is a rare malignant neoplasm that primarily affects bone in children. Extraskeletal location is less common, while intradural extramedullary Ewing sarcoma (IEES) in adults is a casuistic phenomenon. Due to its rarity, a standardized treatment strategy for IEES has not been established. The clinical use of proton beam therapy (PBT) for craniospinal irradiation (CSI) in the treatment of IEES has not been reported in the literature. A 41-year-old previously healthy man presented with disabling gluteal and lower extremity pain, decreased sensation, and progressive paraparesis without sphincter dysfunction. Imaging showed intradural extramedullary spinal lesions. The patient underwent urgent surgery. Histology and immunohistochemistry suggested a poorly differentiated neuroendocrine tumor. Negative chromogranin staining and a high Ki67 index prompted further investigation. Next-generation sequencing later confirmed an
