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

purposeWithin the Paediatric Rare Tumours Network-European Registry (PARTNER) project, we aimed to evaluate the situation on the registration and management of paediatric patients affected by very rare tumours (VRT) in the European low health expenditure average rates (LHEAR) countries.

methodsA survey regarding infrastructure, organisation, and clinical decision-making information on VRT was designed. This survey was distributed to the representatives of LHEAR countries involved in the activities of the PARTNER Work Package 7.

resultsEighteen answers from 17 countries were collected regarding the national organisation, methods of registration of VRT cases, the availability of medical experts in VRT, the access to updated diagnostic and therapeutic procedures (such as proton therapy, immunotherapy and, targeted therapies), and research on paediatric VRT. A high variability in the registration and management of patients with VRT has been observed with additional wide inequalities in pathology review, uniformity of clinical decisions, availability of selected procedures, and diagnostic and research tools.

conclusionIn the majority of LHEAR countries, no clinical or research structures have been implemented for children and adolescents with VRT. Therefore, VRT still have an orphan status in these countries. These significant differences on the technology access and use between European regions need to be addressed.
