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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesPrimary central nervous system (CNS) tumors are often associated with relatively poor outcomes. Data on the epidemiology and outcome of CNS tumors in Jordan are scarce. We aim to report the epidemiology and outcome of primary CNS tumors of patients managed at a comprehensive cancer care center in Jordan.

methodsWe performed a retrospective chart review of all Jordanian patients with a primary CNS tumor diagnosis who were managed at the center between July 2003 and June 2019. We included all entities described in the 2021 CNS WHO classification system, in addition to pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETs). We used the Kaplan-Meier method to estimate the 1-year, 2-year, and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates for each entity. RESULTS AND

findingsWe included 2094 cases. The numbers of pediatrics and adults were 652 (31.1%) and 1442 (68.9%), respectively. The three most common groups of tumors were "gliomas, glioneuronal tumors, and neuronal tumors" (

conclusionsWe present a detailed analysis of the primary CNS tumors diagnosed in the largest cancer center in Jordan between 2003 and 2019. We compared the epidemiology and overall survival of these patients to worldwide estimates and found the epidemiology and outcome of these tumors comparable to worldwide trends.
