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

Central nervous system germ cell tumors are rare intracranial neoplasms that predominantly occur in pediatric populations and exhibit characteristics similar to those of gonadal and extragonadal germ cell tumors. Neuroblastoma (NB) represents the most common type of extracranial solid tumor in children, typically arising in tissues with sympathetic innervation. We present a case involving a 14-year-old male patient diagnosed with bilateral intracranial mixed germ cell tumors and concurrent bilateral retroperitoneal ganglioneuroblastoma. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first documented instance of the co-occurrence of these two distinct neoplastic entities. Additionally, Whole-exome sequencing (WES) of the blood sample identified a chromosomal deletion consistent with the 16p11.2 microdeletion syndrome. Furthermore, a heterozygous missense variant in the ALK gene (p. Arg1275Gln) was identified.
