Radiological Evaluation of Infratentorial Gangliogliomas in Various Anatomic Locations of the Cerebellum and Brainstem.
Article in Clinical neuroradiology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeTo review the imaging features of infratentorial gangliogliomas (GGs) and compare between Infratentorial GGs located within the cerebellum and brainstem.
methodsThe cases of 24 patients with histologically-confirmed infratentorial GGs were reviewed retrospectively. These subjects' cases were divided into a cerebellar group (n = 8) and a brainstem group (n = 16) based upon the anatomic location of the tumor. Imaging features (including tumor volume, margins, cystic/solid ratio, enhancement, peritumoral edema, and ipsilateral cerebellar atrophy) were compared between these two groups.
resultsOn magnetic resonance imaging, infratentorial GGs showed isointensity or hypointensity on T1WI and heterogeneous hyperintensity on T2WI, with ipsilateral cerebellar atrophy observed in seven cases. Computed tomography images available in the cerebellar group showed heterogeneous isodensity with calcifications. Cerebellar GGs (median = 67.25 cm
conclusionIpsilateral cerebellar atrophy can be found in infratentorial GGs involving the middle and inferior cerebellar peduncles. GGs should therefore be considered in the differential diagnoses when a solid-cystic mass with calcification is encountered in the cerebellum. Brainstem GGs tend to be smaller, solid masses with moderate-to-marked enhancement. Dorsal-predominant and posterior-marginal enhancement may be the specific imaging findings for brainstem GGs.
