Molecular subtypes, prognostic factors, and treatment optimization in pediatric medulloblastoma: a real-world study from China.

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
Background: Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common malignant pediatric brain tumor, yet systematic studies on molecular characteristics and treatment efficacy in Chinese pediatric MB remain scarce. This study evaluates recurrence and mortality risk factors and the feasibility of intensified chemotherapy. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 381 MB patients (WNT: 63, SHH: 106, Group 3: 27, Group 4: 185) was conducted. Kaplan-Meier analysis estimated survival rates, and Cox regression identified independent risk factors for recurrence and mortality. Results: With a median follow-up of 4.8 years, 5-year PFS and OS were 69.9% ± 2.4% and 80.6% ± 2.1%, respectively. WNT-MB had the best prognosis, while Group 3-MB had the worst. Independent recurrence risk factors included high-risk status (HR=2.931, Conclusion: This study identified key clinical and molecular risk factors associated with recurrence and mortality in pediatric medulloblastoma. The findings underscore the prognostic relevance of TP53 mutations, MYCN amplification, and specific chromosomal alterations, particularly in non-metastatic subgroups. These insights may help guide risk-adapted and personalized treatment strategies in future studies.
