Histone-mutant glioma presenting as diffuse leptomeningeal disease.
Article in CNS oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Glioblastoma multiforme is the most common malignant primary brain tumor in adults. Histone H3 mutations have been identified in pediatric and adult gliomas, with H3K27M mutations typically associated with a posterior fossa midline tumor location and poor prognosis. Leptomeningeal disease is a known complication of histone-mutant glioma, but uncommon at the time of initial diagnosis. We describe a case of glioblastoma with H3K27M mutation that initially presented with progressive vision loss due to diffuse leptomeningeal disease in the absence of a mass lesion other than a small cerebellar area of enhancement and with cerebrospinal fluid cytology negative for malignant cells on two occasions, highlighting the importance of including primary CNS malignancies in the differential of diffuse radiographic leptomeningeal enhancement.
