Approach to an Intracranial Mass in Patients With HIV.
Review in Current neurology and neuroscience reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
purpose of reviewSpace-occupying lesions represent a diagnostic challenge among people with the human immunodeficiency virus, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS). To determine the best diagnostic approach to the wide array of possible etiologies and provide a thorough interpretation of neuroimaging in order to narrow a hierarchical differential diagnosis among these patients. Given that there is no pathognomonic neuroimaging pattern in this clinical setting, we searched results from brain biopsies to best determine the etiology of commonly found lesions. RECENT
findingsMultimodal brain MRI and MRI spectroscopy (MRS) often provide the most valuable information in the study of focal masses among people with HIV/AIDS. Brain biopsy appears safe and provides high diagnostic yields in these patients. Among patients with HIV/AIDS who present with space-occupying intracranial lesions, brain MRI and MRS are useful tests. However, in cases of diagnostic uncertainty, brain biopsy is a safe procedure and should be performed. The role of metabolic studies like
