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

introductionNeuroenteric cysts are rare benign endodermal lesions of the central nervous system that result from incomplete resorption of neuroenteric canal and mostly found in cervical and upper thoracic spinal canal. Intracranial neuroenteric cysts are extra axial and commonly located anteriorly in the posterior cranial fossa. MRI demonstrates variable intensity within the lesion on T1, T2W, and DWI sequences.

methodsThree cases of posterior fossa non-enhancing cystic lesions of variable signal intensity underwent MRI with MR spectroscopy, where MR spectroscopy demonstrated dominant peak at 2 ppm, mimicking normal Nacetyl aspartate (NAA).

conclusionMR spectroscopy in addition to conventional MRI may help in differentiating intracranial neuroenteric cyst from its close differentials.
