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

purposeThe purpose of this study was to review a case of a septal dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor (sDNT) and compare it to cases reported in the current literature.

methodsWe review a case of sDNT and compare with 7 other previously noted cases in the literature.

resultsThe mainstay treatment is gross total resection, and most patients achieve full clinical resolution. Septal dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor (sDNT) is a rare pediatric disease most commonly presenting as intractable epilepsy or headache. sDNT has been recognized as a genotypically distinct entity from DNT. A high frequency (~ 80%) of mutations of platelet-derived growth factor receptor A (PDGFRA) has been isolated in sDNT and could form the basis for future therapy. MRI is most commonly used to radiographically diagnose the disease and usually demonstrates a lobular interventricular mass involving the septum, potentially extending to the third ventricle.

conclusionsOur case and literature review validates endoscopic biopsy as a diagnostic and therapeutic intervention.
