Cortical dysplasia: a possible substrate for brain tumors.
Article in Future oncology (London, England), 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The similarities between brain tumor stem cells and neural stem cells suggest a possible stem cell origin of tumorigenesis. Recently, cells with features of stem cells have been observed in lesions of adult and pediatric cortical dysplasia (CD). Given the evidence for a close relationship between CD and certain brain tumors, together with the finding that CD neural stem cells/progenitors are abnormally developed, we propose that CD is a possible substrate for brain tumors. The neural stem cells/progenitors in CD have accumulating abnormalities, and these abnormal stem/progenitor cells may be the initiating, transformed cells of brain tumors, when subsequently exposed to a carcinogen.
