A rare presentation of a pediatric neurenteric cyst as an intra-axial pontine lesion: A case report with a 5-year follow-up.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 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
backgroundIntracranial neurenteric cysts are rare, benign, and slow-growing tumors. However, we encountered a pediatric case that the cyst expansion occurred in a short period of time resulting in rapid deterioration of the patient's symptoms. CASE DESCRIPTION: A previously healthy 7-year-old girl had a week history of dysarthric speech and diplopia along with headaches. Her magnetic resonance images (MRI) showed an abnormal cystic mass in her brainstem. Her symptoms were deteriorated for 1 month and her second MRI revealed an enlargement of the cystic lesion. The tumor biopsy and cyst drainage were carried out and histopathological examination of the cyst wall showed columnar epithelium containing ciliated cells. The final diagnosis of her tumor was neurenteric cyst.
conclusionWe report a pediatric case of a neurenteric cyst in the brainstem, which expanded in a short period, and review this rare entity.
