Prepontine cyst lined by respiratory epithelium with squamous metaplasia: immunohistochemical and ultrastructural study.
Article in Acta neuropathologica, 1992. 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
An 8.5-year-old female presented with multiple episodes of aseptic meningitis and was found to have a cystic lesion in the prepontine region. Microscopic examination revealed a respiratory-type epithelium with squamous metaplasia. Like its normal analogue in the respiratory tract, the epithelium of these intracranial cysts can undergo squamous metaplasia when chronically irritated. The ultrastructural and immunohistochemical characteristics of the transition from ciliated epithelium to squamous metaplasia are described.
