A case of central nervous system vasculitis presenting as a mass-like lesion.

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
Vasculitis of the central nervous system presenting as a mass lesion is a relatively uncommon occurrence. Even more uncommon is a vasculitis mimicking a demyelinating lesion. We present here an interesting case of a 15-year-old boy who was found to have a mass-like lesion on neuroimaging involving the left subcortical white matter and deep gray matter. The differential diagnosis for this lesion was primary demyelination versus a glial tumor, the former being more favored over the latter. Biopsy of this lesion however revealed findings compatible with a vasculitis, which was unexpected given the neuroimaging findings. To the authors' knowledge, case reports in the English literature of a vasculitic lesion mimicking demyelination are scarce. This case also serves as a reminder of the diagnostic difficulty that arises in a pediatric patient with an initial presentation of mass-like lesion.
