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

Spontaneous regression is defined as the decrease in size or disappearance of a primary tumour or metastatic disease without therapeutic intervention. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain was performed in a 14-year-old girl experiencing sudden-onset headaches. First diagnostic exams revealed a mass in the pineal region that disappeared at three-month MRI control. Three-year follow-up MRI studies were performed. No therapy was administered, but the pineal lesion had disappeared at three-year follow-up.
