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

introductionCommon sites of occurrence of extraosseous Ewing's sarcoma include the soft tissues and bones of the lower extremity, 12 paravertebral, and retroperitoneal regions. Primary intracranial Ewing's sarcoma/pPNET is usually intraparenchymal located 13 when supratentorially, and an extraaxial epidural tumor radiographically mimicking a meningioma is extremely rare. CASE PRESENTATION: A 20-year14 old male presented to the emergency department with a 1-day history of drowsiness, headache, and fever. Neurological exam15 ination revealed decreased muscle strength (4/5) in the left lower limb. Head computed tomography scan showed an epidural 16 space-occupying lesion in the right temporoparietal region, which was assumed to be a meningioma by radiographic criteria. However, the surgical specimen was diagnosed as Ewing's sarcoma.

conclusionPrimary intracranial extraosseous Ewing's sarcoma is a rare condition that may mimic a meningioma on imaging. Physicians must be cognizant of this possibility, particularly in any young individual with a solitary contrast-enhancing dural-based lesion.
