Intra-parenchymal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma of the cerebellum: case report and review of the literature.
Article in Journal of neuro-oncology, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
A 44-year-old male presented with a 3-week history of clumsiness and numbness of the left hemibody. CT scan and MRI revealed a 2 cm mass in the right hemisphere of the cerebellum. The patient underwent a sub-occipital craniotomy with gross total resection of the intra-parenchymal lesion. On pathology, the lesion was found to be compatible with a mesenchymal chondrosarcoma. The patient received adjuvant radiation treatment and remains free of disease 60 months after completion of treatment. Mesenchymal chondrosarcomas are neoplasms that rarely arise intra-cranially. Thirty cases have been found in the literature. Our case resembles more closely six of these cases because the tumour had no dural attachment. We describe our case in more detail and review similar cases found in the English literature.
