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

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most widely discussed and clinically employed method for the differential diagnosis of oligodendrogliomas; however, MRI occasionally produces unclear results that can hinder a definitive oligodendroglioma diagnosis. The present study describes the case of a 34-year-old man that suffered from headache and right upper-extremity weakness for 2 months. Based on the presurgical evaluation, it was suggested that the patient had a World Health Organization (WHO) grade II-II glioma, meningioma or arteriovenous malformation (AVM), with unclear radiological manifestations. Postsurgical pathological assessment confirmed the tumor to be an anaplastic oligodendroglioma (WHO grade III). This case is notable due to the confusing radiological manifestation of a mushroom-shaped anaplastic oligodendroglioma in the parietal-temporal-occipital region, which provided a potential source of misdiagnosis for meningioma and AVM.
