Dural-based atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor in an adult: DNA methylation profiling as a tool for the diagnosis.
Article in CNS oncology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) is a malignant CNS embryonal tumor that mostly occurs in childhood, adult cases are rare. We report a case of a 23-year-old male with an extra-axial dura-based lesion in the left frontal area, previously diagnosed as gliosarcoma. After 6 years, the patient had a recurrence and the previous slides were reviewed. Tumor was positive for vimentin and negative for INI1. The differential diagnosis for this extra-axial tumor with long survival was rhabdoid meningioma with INI1 loss or ATRT. DNA methylation profiling was performed to reach the final and the most definitive diagnosis; the result was ATRT. Our case suggests the usefulness of DNA methylation profiling for diagnosing challenging CNS tumors.
