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

backgroundNeurenteric cysts, also referred to as endodermal cysts and enterogenous cysts, are rare lesions of the neuroaxis occurring most frequently within the spinal cord and rarely intracranially. In the literature describing these lesions, examples of intraoperative imaging and cytology preparations are rare to non-existent. CASE DESCRIPTION: Here, we describe a case of a recurrent posterior fossa neurenteric cyst compressing the brainstem in a 47-year-old female and causing incontinence and progressive quadriparesis. Intraoperative findings and cytologic and histologic features are presented.

conclusionNeurenteric cysts are generally considered to be benign and slow-growing though recurrence is common. This case of a recurrent neurenteric cyst is illustrated by intraoperative macroscopic and cytologic images.
