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

A Caucasian female in her late forties presented to the Emergency Department (ED) with headache, ataxia, and mental status changes. A CT brain demonstrated dilated lateral ventricles with transependymal edema. An MRI of the brain demonstrated marked obstructive hydrocephalus from an obstructing colloid cyst at the level of her Foramen of Monro. The patient was transferred to a tertiary care center for neurosurgical removal of the cyst. Three months later, the patient was doing well and had resumed all activities of daily living without any residual neurological deficits. The goal of this case report is to educate readers on this atypical presentation of hydrocephalus, its symptomatology, and management to allow physicians to be more comfortable in making treatment decisions.
