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

Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors (DNETs) are benign mixed glioneuronal neoplasms that frequently occur in children and young adults. We present the case of a 17-year-old male who arrived at the hospital following seizure-like activity. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan showed a 10 x 8 x 10 mm, oval-shaped, non-enhancing, well-defined mass within the right hippocampus. The patient underwent a transcortical approach via the middle temporal gyrus for resection of the mass; histopathological examination demonstrated the presence of round, uniform cells in an extensively myxoid background with diffuse reactivity to glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). DNETs are considered benign, non-recurring lesions. Complete surgical resection is associated with a seizure-free outcome in 80% to 100% of cases.
