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

backgroundXeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a rare autosomal recessive DNA-repair disorder characterized by extreme ultraviolet radiation (UVR) sensitivity, markedly increased cutaneous malignancy risk, and progressive neurological disease in approximately one-third of patients. Emerging evidence suggests an increased risk of internal malignancies, particularly primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors.

objectiveThe aim of this work was to describe primary CNS tumors in patients with XP managed at the UK National XP Service and to review the literature.

methodsWe retrospectively identified five genetically confirmed XP patients with primary CNS tumors followed longitudinally within the multidisciplinary UK National XP Service, including regular neurological evaluation.

resultsFive patients (aged 20-79 years) developed primary CNS tumors: three XP-C and two XP-A. Tumors included gliomas, meningiomas, and subependymoma. CNS tumors occurred predominantly in younger patients with XP-C, whereas late-onset, slow-growing meningiomas were observed in milder XP-A phenotypes. One patient with XP-C died of glioblastoma.

conclusionsXP is associated with primary CNS tumor risk, particularly in XP-C and late-onset XP-A, supporting regular neurological assessment and targeted neuroimaging. © 2026 The Author(s).
