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

Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor (DNT) is a relatively newly described entity and is an important cause of intractable epilepsy. We report 32 cases of DNT who were operated and treated in our hospital over a period of 12 years. Immunostaining for various proliferative markers and tumor suppressor gene proteins was done to assess the proliferative potential of these tumors. The most common presentation was partial complex seizures followed by generalized tonic-clonic seizures, focal motor seizures, and myoclonus. The most common location was temporal lobe followed by frontal and in one patient lesion was multifocal. All patients were seizure free at the last postoperative follow-up which varies from 12 to 96 months with mean of 33.7 months. Microscopic examination showed classical histology comprising of intracortical multinodular microcystic lesions with floating neurons. Proliferative indices were very low (<1%) and tumor suppressor gene protein expression was not seen in the present study. Cortical dysplasia of the surrounding brain was observed in 37.3% of cases.
