Cystic-solid hemangioblastoma at the cerebellopontine angle: A case report.
Article in Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
rationaleHemangioblastomas (HMGs) originating from the cerebellopontine angle (CPA) are extremely uncommon. Nevertheless, the cystic-solid form of this lesion at the above location is even rarer. PATIENT CONCERNS: We present a 31-years old male with a right ear hearing loss of 3 months duration. He did not experience earache or discharge before the hearing loss. He; however, experienced visual acuity and dizziness. General physical examination did not yield much. DIAGNOSES: Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cystic-solid mass at right CPA. We initial misdiagnosed the lesion as an acoustic neuroma with cystic changes. Immunohistochemistry studies revealed HMG.
interventionsThe lesion was total surgical resection via the retro-sigmoid approach. OUTCOMES: The patient's symptomatology resolved after the surgery. Two years follow-up show no recurrence of the lesion and the patient is well. LESIONS: Identification of feeding arteries and electro-coagulating them during the operation minimized intraoperative bleeding. The tumor should usually be dissected out whole and not piece meal fashion. Pre-operative CTA is very useful in outlining the vasculature of the tumor.
