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

backgroundChoroid plexus papillomas are rare tumors of the central nervous system and are usually confined to the ventricle system. We describe a choroid plexus papilloma located in the sella turcica that was identified pathologically. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 49-year-old woman with a 5-year history of progressive visual deterioration in the left eye was admitted to our hospital. Neurological examination found no abnormality except for the perception of light and secondary optic atrophy in her left eye. Careful endocrine testing did not show any hormone excess or deficiency of the pituitary and target glands. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a hemorrhagic mass in the sellar region, which occupied the entire sella turcica and extended to the suprasellar cistern. The mass was excised via an endonasal trans-sphenoidal approach. Histologic examination proved that the lesion was a choroid plexus papilloma.

conclusionChoroid plexus papillomas arising in and occupying the sella are rare, although some radiographic patterns of ectopic choroid plexus papillomas have been reported. A review of the current literature revealed no similar cases of a choroid plexus papilloma. We discuss the different radiological appearances of choroid plexus papillomas, the differential diagnosis, and treatment.
