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

Neuroblastoma commonly arises from the adrenal gland and frequently demonstrates close association with major abdominal vessels. Preoperative imaging plays a critical role in surgical planning, though differentiation between true vascular invasion and extrinsic compression remains challenging. We report a case of a 2-year-old female with a right adrenal neuroblastoma in whom preoperative imaging suggested inferior vena cava involvement. Intraoperative findings demonstrated compression without invasion, allowing for safe resection without vascular reconstruction. This case highlights the limitations of cross-sectional imaging in assessing vascular invasion in neuroblastoma and underscores the importance of operative correlation when imaging findings are equivocal.
