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

introductionIntracranial neurenteric cysts are rare and are not often found in the supratentorial space. We present a case of an intracranial neurenteric cyst that arose at the suprasellar cistern with extension to the middle cranial fossa. HISTORY: A 3-year-old girl presented with seizure. Neuroimaging showed a huge extra-axial cyst involving the suprasellar cistern and left middle cranial fossa. Under the impression of an arachnoid cyst, she underwent fenestration of the cyst with basal cisterns and ventricle. The pathologic diagnosis was neurenteric cyst. Four years after the surgery, MRI showed no recurrence but did show poorly developed myelination of the left temporal white matter. Three years after surgery, seizures recurred. We consider epilepsy surgery in case of uncontrolled seizure. DISCUSSION: We discuss the unique case of supratentorially located neurenteric cyst that is just treated by fenestration. A close follow-up is needed for children with intracranial neurenteric cysts to surveil not only recurrence of lesion but also normal brain development.
