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

backgroundIntracranial neurenteric cysts are rare cystic masses of endodermal origin lined with mucin producing low columnar or cuboidal epithelium. Approximately 141 cases have been reported so far. Most of the posterior fossa neurenteric cysts are typically small, located anteriorly to the brainstem in the midline or in the cerebellopontine angle cistern area. CASE REPORT: We present a rare, histologically proven case of a large lobulated intracranial neurenteric cyst measuring 4.2 centimeters in the maximal transverse dimension and involving bilateral cerebellopontine angle cisterns. We also present a review of the literature on this uncommon finding.

conclusionsImaging features of neurenteric cyst are non-specific and it should be considered in the differential diagnosis for any intracranial extraaxial cystic lesion.
