"Volcano sign"--description of a sign of aggressive neoplastic epidural lesions with subdural extension.

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
introductionAggressive epidural intracranial lesions that break through the dura and develop an intra-axial component have been well-described previously in literature. However, there is no description of lesions with an epidural component and an exclusive subdural component without parenchymal extension in the pediatric patient. DISCUSSION AND
conclusionWe have noticed a characteristic sign on cross-sectional imaging studies that indicates dural breakthrough resulting in a large extradural component and second subdural component, but no extraparenchymal component. This is best described as a "volcano sign" which characterizes the appearance caused by a focal break in the dural lining resulting in a sizeable subdural component from rapid lesion growth. In the pediatric patient, this sign is characteristic of a rapidly growing sarcomatous lesion, either primary or secondary.
