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

Embryonal tumors with multilayered rosettes (ETMR) are rare, highly aggressive brain neoplasms predominantly affecting children under 3 years of age. In the 2021 WHO Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System, ETMRs are classified as grade IV tumors, previously considered separate entities such as embryonal tumor with abundant neuropil and true rosettes (ETANTR), ependymoblastoma (EBL). We report a 13-month-old girl who presented with afebrile seizures, left hemiparesis, and status epilepticus. Neuroimaging revealed a right fronto-parieto-temporal mass with typical features of ETMR, confirmed by stereotactic biopsy. Despite supportive care and preparation for surgery, the patient's condition deteriorated rapidly, and she passed away 15 days after admission. This case highlights the typical presentation, imaging characteristics, and poor prognosis of ETMR, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and molecular testing in enhancing diagnosis and treatment strategies.
