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: Neuroblastoma is a neurogenic tumor typically diagnosed in children <5 years of age. It arises from immature neural crest cells of the medulla of the adrenal gland or, less commonly, along the paravertebral sympathetic chain. We hereby report a patient with adult-onset giant mediastinal neuroblastoma. Case Description: A 34-year-old female presented with mid-thoracic back pain radiating to the ribs for 1 month. The neurological examination showed decreased sensation at the left T6-T12 dermatomes. Radiological imaging revealed a giant left mediastinal paravertebral soft-tissue lesion. The patient underwent a posterolateral thoracotomy and resection of the lesion. The histopathological sections were compatible with mediastinal neuroblastoma (Differentiating subtype). Conclusion: Adult-onset neuroblastoma has been rarely reported in the literature. The present article discusses the clinicoradiological features of an adult patient with giant mediastinal neuroblastoma.
