Why in the age of CT scans and MRIs is a brain tumour mistaken for a psychiatric illness?
Article in BMJ case reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The first author of this paper operated on two patients with brain tumour, who had been undergoing long-term treatment for depression. In the age of CT scans and MRIs, why are there still cases in which a brain neoplasia is mistaken for a psychiatric condition with consequent serious delays in diagnosis? In this article, we have highlighted what in our experience are three noticeable obstacles in achieving the right diagnosis.
