Colloid cysts of the third ventricle: ultrastructural features are compatible with endodermal derivation.
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 26 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
The histogenesis of colloid cyst of the third ventricle remains unsettled. Ultrastructural and immunohistochemical analyses have suggested the following possible origins: (a) neuroepithelium, including paraphysis, ependyma, choroid plexus and tela chorioidea; and (b) endoderm, including respiratory and enteric epithelium. This report describes the ultrastructural features of the lining epithelium in four cases of colloid cyst. Six distinct cell types were recognized: (1) ciliated cells with occasional abnormal cilia; (2) non-ciliated cells with microvilli coated with granulofibrillary material; (3) goblet cells showing discharge of secretory granules; (4) basal cells with prominent tonofilaments and desmosomes; (5) basal-located cells with elongated electron-lucent cytoplasm and scattered membrane-bound dense-core granules (150-350 nm); and (6) small undifferentiated cells with scanty organelles. Junctional complexes were present in the former four cell types but absent in the latter two. The types of epithelial cells and their topographic distribution within the epithelium are both very similar to those of normal respiratory epithelium and to the lining epithelium of intraspinal bronchogenic cyst. The observations made in the present study are compatible with the hypothesis that colloid cysts of the third ventricle originate from the endoderm, most likely the respiratory epithelium.
