Spinal Metastases in Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma: A Rare Presentation of Rapid Neurological Decline.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A nine-year-old male patient with a history of diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) presented with an episode of acute neurological deterioration approximately 18 months following completion of a primary course of radiation therapy to the brainstem for DIPG. His symptoms at that time included weakness in the lower extremities, urinary incontinence, and respiratory failure. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain, cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine revealed progression of the disease with metastatic deposits involving the craniospinal axis. He subsequently underwent a course of salvage radiation therapy to the craniospinal axis. This case highlights a rare but severe manifestation of metastatic DIPG with spinal involvement.
