Cerebellopontine angle ependymoma in a young adult: A case report.
Article in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
rationaleCerebellopontine angle (CPA) ependymomas are atypical kind of ependymomas that characteristically occur in the pediatric age group. Therefore, finding a case of CPA ependymoma in a young male adult is not a common occurrence. PATIENT CONCERNS: We present a case of a 28-year-old male who was involved in road traffic accident with suspected mild head injury. He did not have any antecedent complains before the accident. DIAGNOSES: An incidental computer tomographic scan of the head revealed an intracranial space-occupying lesion at the left CPA. Immunohistochemical staining of the specimens indicated WHO grade II ependymoma.
interventionsThe tumor was surgically resected and the patient was further treated with radiotherapy. OUTCOMES: The patient recovered well postoperatively and 2 years follow-up revealed no tumor recurrence and the patient is currently well. LESSONS: The diagnosis of ependymomas can be very challenging in adults because they are mostly mainly seen in the pediatric age group. We propose that one of the differential diagnosis of tumors in the CPA in a young adult should be CPA ependymoma.
