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

purposePatients with primary central nervous system (CNS) tumours require complex, multidisciplinary care from the time of diagnosis to end-of-life. Because of their rarity, investigations and treatments for certain tumours should be provided at facilities with specialized healthcare providers and infrastructure. To ensure effective delivery of high-quality CNS tumour care in Ontario, guidance is needed to support the coordination of healthcare services in various care settings across the province.

methodsUsing a consensus-based approach, we invited a diverse group of Ontario-based clinicians with expertise in neuro-oncology to develop recommendations to support the provision of CNS tumour care for the province.

resultsThe level of consensus agreement among expert panel members was strong for the recommendaions, meeting the consensus threshold after the first round of consultation.

conclusionsThe recommendations inform the areas of care settings, the minimum hospital services required for CNS tumour care, patient coordination and communication, assessment, treatment, and healthcare provider qualifications and training.
