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
backgroundNeuroblastoma and other peripheral nerve cell tumors (NB-PNT) are the most common extracranial solid tumors in children. This study aimed to describe the global burden of NB-PNT across different age groups and genders, including incidence, prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) in various countries and regions. Additionally, we analyzed changes in the disease burden over the past three decades and predicted future trends up to 2036.
methodsUsing open data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) database (1990-2021), we provided a dynamic description of the disease burden of NB-PNT patients across different age and gender groups on a global scale. Joinpoint analysis was used to calculate the average annual percentage change (AAPC) to quantify trends in the burden of NB-PNT. Meanwhile, the Bayesian Age-Period-Cohort (BAPC) model was applied to predict the changes in disease burden up to 2036.
resultsFrom 1990 to 2021, the global burden of NB-PNT increased significantly, with global prevalence rising from 41,456 to 56,326 cases. Gender and age disparities were evident, with male patients and patients aged 6-11 months exhibiting higher disease burden. Regional variations were observed, with higher disease burdens in regions with a higher sociodemographic index (SDI), although low-SDI regions showed a consistent upward trend. Overall, the prevalence of NB-PNT increased year by year (overall AAPC = 0.64% [0.56 - 0.72%]), with a slight decline in age-standardized mortality rates observed in 2019 (APC
conclusionsA higher burden of NB-PNT was evident among male patients and infants. The disease burden in low-SDI regions has increased in recent years, while a decline was observed in high-SDI regions. Over the past 30 years, the burden rose overall, although a decline in incidence was observed in 2019. Projections indicate a slight decrease in global incidence and mortality rates through 2036.
