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

Objective: This study aims to elucidate the clinicopathological characteristics, molecular profiles, and prognostic outcomes of congenital neuroblastoma in Chinese infants. Methods: A retrospective single-center analysis was conducted on 15 pathologically confirmed congenital neuroblastoma cases in China from 2017 to 2025. Clinical, imaging, pathological features and FISH for Results: The cohort included 15 patients with a male-to-female ratio of 8:7. Eight cases were detected prenatally and seven within 28 postnatal days. Most tumors (12/15) arose in the adrenal gland. Preoperative serum NSE elevation was more sensitive than VMA. All patients underwent complete resection; one received adjuvant chemotherapy and one relapsed. No Conclusion: In this single-center Chinese cohort, congenital neuroblastoma showed favorable biological behavior. Complete resection achieved good outcomes. Combination of NSE and imaging examinations is promising for postoperative prognostic evaluation and recurrence surveillance in these pediatric patients.
