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: We assessed clinical features, treatment, and survival of pediatric patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) with high-grade glioma (HGG). Methods: Patients from this retrospective cohort study were identified through an international collaborative effort by the SIOPE HGG/DIPG working group. NF1 was diagnosed based on clinical presentation and confirmed by either a pathogenic germline Results: We identified 29 pediatric patients with NF1-associated HGG. Median age at diagnosis of HGG was 11 years. All but 1 tumor arose outside the optic pathway and included circumscribed and diffuse HGG. Molecular analysis in a subset of tumors identified an enrichment of alterations in Conclusions: NF1-associated HGGs behave as aggressively as their sporadic counterparts. The relevance of delaying radiotherapy until the time of progression and adjuvant MEK inhibitor treatment needs further investigation.
