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

Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in children, requiring multidisciplinary treatment, including radiotherapy, which is primarily applied in the high-risk group to prevent disease progression. The review highlights indications for radiotherapy, its role in multimodal treatment, and addresses aspects of radiotherapy planning, including target volume definition, prescribed radiation doses, optimal timing for radiotherapy implementation, and potential side effects. Particular attention is drawn to the lack of consensus regarding the necessity of an additional radiation dose for persistent residual disease in the primary tumor and the irradiation of metastatic sites remaining after induction therapy. To conclude, monitoring quality assurance in radiotherapy planning and delivering processes based on unified standards appears to be crucial.
