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

An 8-year-old boy presented with proptosis of the left eye. On ophthalmic examination,unilateral axial elongation of the left eye was evident.Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed an arachnoid cyst in the left middle cranial fossa, which expanded the bone and deformed the posterolateral wall of the left orbit. The lesion was observed with serial examinations and reviewed by a neurosurgeon and a radiologist. After 6 months of follow-up, there was no progression of the cyst. We believe this is the youngest reported case of an arachnoid cyst associated with isolated proptosis in the setting of unilateral high myopia. Neuroimaging should be considered in cases of prominent or progressive proptosis in the context of unilateral axial myopia in order to detect other possible etiologies.
