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.

methodsWe identified IDH-mutant brainstem gliomas by retrospective chart review.

resultsTwenty-one patients with IDH-mutant brainstem gliomas were identified, 57% male with a median age of 26 (6-59) years. All tumors involved the pons and/or abutted the brachium pontis. Although 18 (86%) of 21 were nonenhancing, only one of 21 demonstrated T2-FLAIR mismatch. An

conclusionIDH-mutant brainstem gliomas have a characteristic clinical and radiographic phenotype. MRS is more sensitive than CSF cfDNA sequencing for noninvasively identifying the presence of an
