Intradiploic epidermoid cyst with focal internal enhancement.

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
We report a case of intradiploic epidermoid cyst with focal internal enhancement. The patient was a 55-year-old woman presenting with right temporal head protrusion and head heaviness. Skull radiography and computed tomography demonstrated an expansile mass in the right diploic space. On magnetic resonance imaging, the mass showed makedly high signal T2-weighted images (T2WI) and intermediate to low signal on T1WI. On contrast-enhanced T1WI, there was nodular internal enhancement, which corresponded to neovascularity on pathology, as well as rim-like enhancement. It should be noted that internal enhancement, an indicator of malignant transformation, may be seen even in a benign epidermoid cyst.
