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

purposePineal anlage tumor is an extremely rare tumor which was considered as a subtype of pineovlatoma with an overall poor prognosis. This case-based review further summarize the clinical profile.

methodsA patient with pineal anlage tumor was reported, her clinical data and gene analysis results were recorded.

resultsAn 8-month-old girl, with an obvious enhancing pineal occupancy and obstructive hydrocephalus. Her histological and immunohistochemical findings contained rhabdomyoblastic, melanin pigment and cartilage island. The wholeexpme sequencing and genome-wide copy number variation sequencing were performed, no mutations associated with pineoblatoma as well as copy number variants were identified. In terms of treatment, our patient underwent subtotal resection without radiotherapy or chemotherapy, and the residual tumor enlarged 4 months after surgery. We have followed her up for 10 months, and the child is still alive.

conclusionSurgery combined radiotherapy and chemotherapy is still the best treatment currently,and genetic testing for patients is necessary.
