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

Primary central nervous system choriocarcinoma is a non-germinomatous germ cell tumor with a highly malignant character, comprising up to 5% of all central nervous system germ cell tumors. Locations affected can include suprasellar or pineal locations most commonly, with others including the basal ganglia and lateral ventricles. Guidelines do not specify an optimal radiation regimen but recommend proceeding with maximally safe resection if feasible and then chemotherapy before radiotherapy. Radiation is often comprised of craniospinal irradiation with subsequent tumor bed boost. We present a case of an adult male with a primary central nervous system choriocarcinoma who underwent reversed sequence radiation therapy with photon tumor bed boost before proton craniospinal irradiation due to recurrent intracranial hemorrhages with long-term control of cancer and no subsequent hemorrhages. This case highlights the excellent outcome and feasibility of reversed sequence radiotherapy on choriocarcinoma in hemorrhage and tumor control.
