Infantile atypical subependymal giant cell astrocytoma.
Article in Neurosciences (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma is a benign WHO grade I intraventricular tumor arise in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex. Previous reported described histopathological predictors of more aggressive forms, terms atypical SEGA in infantile age group. Other reports showed possible transformation of SEGA into glioblastoma, or misdiagnosis as glioblastoma due to the presence of atypical histopathological features. Here, we report a case of an infant who presented with right frontal extraventricular SEGA and underwent craniotomy with complete resection. Eight months later, he presented with fast recurrence in same location with midline shift and subfalcine herniation. Histopathological description showed high grade features including Ki labeling index of 60%, atypical mitotic figures, cellular plemorphism and necrosis. We also discussed the possible presence of different entity (termed atypical SEGA) which may have more aggressive clinical course, with literature review of predictors of SEGA aggressiveness and possible transformation/misdiagnosis as glioblastoma.
