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

The prognosis of DIPG is still dismal. Despite transient clinical improvement after treatment, there is usually minimal or no radiologic regression and radiological complete response is very rare. Here, we report a child with DIPG who had radiological complete response and long-term survival treated with radiotherapy and adjuvant temozolomide. The initial MRI of a 9-year-old boy demonstrated large pontine mass causing expansion with the largest diameter of 35 mm, partially encasing the basilar artery and indenting the anterior wall of the 4th ventricle suggestive of DIPG. He received radiotherapy concomitant temozolomide orally 75 mg/m
