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

purposeMedulloepithelioma is a rare brain tumor that has been classified as embryonal tumor with multilayered rosettes (ETMR) if it harbors C19MC amplification. In rare instances, it shows evidence of heterologous differentiation.

methodsWe report a case of a 10-year-old female who presented with headache, squint, and minimal left sided weakness of 1 week duration.

resultsMicroscopy revealed a small round blue cell tumor with focal glandular and tubular differentiation. In one focus, well-developed osteoid was identified. The tumor labeled with LIN28A immunostain.

conclusionsUnusual features can be encountered in medulloepithelioma which should be in the differential diagnosis of CNS embryonal tumors. Full description of the case with review of the literature and comparison between cases with and without heterologous elements is presented.
