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

backgroundMixed ganglioglioma and dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor (DNET) is an extremely rare neuropathological diagnosis. The sparse number of patients described are children or young adults with long-term drug-resistant epilepsy. CASE DESCRIPTION: We report on a rare case of this tumor in a 61-year-old patient with an epilepsy duration of almost 60 years. This patient received an epilepsy surgery work-up with the intention to cure his drug-resistant epilepsy by performing a complete lesionectomy. The available literature on these mixed tumors is reviewed.

conclusionA contrast-enhancing mixed ganglioglioma and DNET can mimic a malignant tumor and appears not only in children and young adults, but also in the elderly patients with chronic epilepsy. A long-lasting epilepsy, in this case almost 60 years, can be completely cured by a complete lesionectomy.
