A locally invasive giant cell tumor of the skull base: case report.
Article in Journal of neurological surgery reports, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
Giant cell tumors (GCTs) are rare, usually affecting the epiphyses in long bones of the extremities. They seldom occur in the skull, where they preferentially affect the sphenoid and temporal bones. Considered to be benign, locally aggressive lesions, they may cause cranial nerve deficits by compression but infrequently invade the dura and parenchyma of the brain. Several case reports with follow-up describe gross total resection of skull base GCT to be curative. Anything short of total resection usually results in recurrence within 4 years. Radiation therapy, although controversial, is reserved for lesions that cannot be completely resected. Some argue, however, against the use of radiation because there are reported cases of malignant transformation. Here we describe the case of a large GCT that was invasive to the dura, temporal lobe, as well as the third division of the trigeminal nerve, and to date gross total resection has been curative of this lesion. The patient has not undergone radiation therapy.
