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

High-grade gliomas (HGGs) are aggressive primary brain tumors with a poor prognosis. Although extracranial metastasis is uncommon, peritoneal dissemination via ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunts is extremely rare. Here, we describe the case of an 18-year-old female with HGG who developed peritoneal metastasis one year after VP shunt placement. Although VP shunting in the presence of an intracranial high-grade tumor is generally not contraindicated, shunt-related metastasis should be recognized as a potential risk and an important, albeit rare, clinical presentation. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges and therapeutic limitations of this rare complication. Understanding this phenomenon is crucial for developing effective monitoring and treatment strategies.
