Cortically based cystic supratentorial RELA fusion-positive ependymoma: a case report with unusual presentation and appearance and review of literature.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Ependymomas are rare central nervous system tumors that can arise anywhere in the neuroaxis. Supratentorial and posterior fossa ependymomas were identified as distinct diseases after extensive molecular analysis. The 2016 World Health Organization update further introduced RELA fusion-positive ependymoma as a novel entity as a subset of supratentorial ependymomas indicating the presence of C11orf95-RELA fusion genes. RELA fusion-positive ependymomas are commonly intraventricular, though they may rarely manifest as extraventricular, cortically-based tumors. They are commonly large solid, mixed solid/cystic tumors or rarely cystic. In this paper, we report a case of RELA fusion positive cortically based-cystic ependymoma and review the existing literature. Our patient is a 9-year-old boy who presented with an unusual presentation of right facial droop. He underwent gross total resection of the ependymoma, following resection, his facial droop resolved and there was no neurologic deficit.
