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

Background: Desmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma/astrocytoma (DIG/DIA) is a rare, low-grade tumor of infants. They are usually composed of a mixed astrocytic and neuronal component with desmoplastic stroma and embryonal-looking areas. Despite some recent reports, clinical, morphological and molecular features of DIG/DIAs are still not well characterized. Here, we present a series of 8 DIG/DIA cases. Methods: Hacettepe University and Koc University Hospital, Departments of Pathology, databases were screened for DIG/DIA. Eight patients were identified. All the slides were reevaluated, and patients' clinical data were obtained. All cases were tested for Results: Median age at the diagnosis was 5.5 months (4-30 months). The female to male ratio was 6:2. Two cases recurred. Four cases showed Conclusions: DIG/DIA is a low-grade tumor seen in early childhood and characterized by an indolent clinical course. The most common molecular signature of these tumors is
