Primary myxopapillary ependymoma of the cerebellopontine angle: report of a case.
Article in Neurosurgical review, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Myxopapillary ependymoma is a rare variant of ependymoma, almost exclusively occurring in the region of the cauda equina and filum terminale. We describe a myxopapillary ependymoma located in the left cerebellopontine angle of a young man suffering from peripheral vertigo and left sensorineural hearing loss for years. The patient underwent surgical removal of the tumour. Microscopic examination showed histological and immunohistochemical features consistent with a diagnosis of myxopapillary ependymoma. Imaging studies of the spine yielded normal findings, confirming the lesion's primary nature. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of primary intracranial myxopapillary ependymoma described in this location.
