Intra-axial endophytic primitive neuroectodermal tumors in the pons: clinical, radiological, and immunohistochemical aspects in four children.
Article in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 1996. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
We present the clinical findings, radiological aspects, operative results, and histopathological features of four typical primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNET) located in the pontine region in children. All the tumors had an endophytic intra-axial growth pattern. All the children had a short history of severe neurological deficits with involvement of the cranial nerves and pyramidal tract. MRI did not reveal any common feature of malignancy. Compared to our successful experience in operations of intra-axial endophytic brainstem tumors in a total of 32 children, the outcome was poor: all 4 children died within 13 months. We conclude that PNET occurring in the pons is not as rare as was believed, and, compared to PNET in other areas the prognosis is worse.
