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

The authors report the clinical features of and imaging studies on a rare case of pediatric malignant prolactinoma. A 12-year-old boy presented with ataxia, blurred vision, and consciousness disturbance. He had received transcranial surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy. However, the tumor regrew with craniospinal metastasis 16 months after the operation. The relevant literature was reviewed regarding the clinical presentation, pathogenesis, treatment approaches, and prognosis of malignant prolactinoma.
