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

Desmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma (DIG) is an uncommon supratentorial neuroepithelial brain tumor that typically occurs in infants younger than 24 months. Desmoplastic non-infantile ganglioglioma (DNIG) is a rare variant of this intracranial neoplasm. There are only 16 DNIG cases reported in the literature, with all patients under the age of 25 at the time of presentation. These DIG and DNIG cases were radiologically and histologically similar, with good outcome after treatment. Despite the size and high mitotic index for patients with DNIG, the prognosis is generally favorable and gross total resection is sufficient. We present a case of a 59-year-old woman with a DNIG. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case reported of DNIG in late adulthood. Clinical presentation, histological and radiological findings are discussed.
