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

Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors (AT/RTs) of the central nervous system (CNS) are rare and aggressive, typically occurring in early childhood or infancy, with adult cases being extremely rare. These tumors are associated with the inactivation of the integrase interactor 1 (INI1) gene. The prognosis is poor, worsening significantly if metastasis is detected at diagnosis. While CNS tumors rarely metastasize to cervical lymph nodes, recent findings have shown that such dissemination is possible, challenging the previously held belief that CNS malignancies do not spread via the lymphatic system. Awareness of this potential pathway is crucial for early diagnosis and avoiding unnecessary treatments. We present a case of a young adult male patient with a primary CNS AT/RT who had presented with cervical lymph node metastasis.
