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

Ewing's sarcoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumor (ES/PNET) is an unusual malignancy with aggressive behavior. ES/PNET in the cerebellopontine angle (CPA) is extremely uncommon, and we report on a rare case here. A 31-year-old man presented with one month history of left facial palsy, hearing loss, swallowing difficulty, and hoarseness. Magnetic resonance images showed a large mass in the left CPA and a small one in the right cerebellar hemisphere. The patient underwent a surgery for the CPA mass lesion, and the pathology was compatible with ES/PNET. Radiation therapy and chemotherapy were administered. In contrast to the initial radiologic findings resembling vestibular schwannoma or meningioma, ES/PNET had several distinct clinical features. A patient with a CPA mass and presenting unusual clinical features should be suspected of having a rare malignancy.
