Infantile medulloepithelioma in the lateral ventricle and cerebellopontine angle: Two case reports.

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
rationaleIntracranial medulloepitheliomas are extremely rare and highly malignant. Intraventricular medulloepitheliomas are even rarely reported, and little is known about the clinical features. PATIENT CONCERNS: In this article, we report two cases of intracranial medulloepitheliomas. In the first patient, a one-month old boy, the tumor was located in in right lateral ventricle, which was the first report of such location of this disease; in the second patient, an eleven-month old girl, the tumor was in right cerebellopontine angle. DIAGNOSES: Both patients were diagnosed as medulloepithelioma by pathologists.
interventionsBoth patients underwent craniotomy to resect the lesion totally. OUTCOMES: The boy underwent chemotherapy after operation and was alive 3 months after operation. The girl died 6 months after operation, despite aggressive adjuvant chemotherapy. LESSONS: Surgical resection is safe and effective to prolong patient survival. However, despite aggressive adjuvant therapy, prognosis of medulloepithelioma remains poor, and further study is needed to improve treatment of this rare disease.
