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

Occipital condyle syndrome is a rare clinical disorder, clinically defined by the association of intense occipital headaches and paralysis of the twelfth paired cranial nerve. Its etiology is dominated by metastatic tumor. Imaging is the gold standard for diagnosis allowing to highlight occipital condyle lesion as weel as to find out primary tumor. Treatment is based on pain relief using analgesics, corticosteroids and very often, external radiotherapy. On the other hand, treatment of metastatic tumor is based on cytotoxic chemotherapy, targeted therapies or immunotherapy depending on the molecular profile of the primary tumor.
