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

Choroid plexus papillomas (CPPs) are benign but rare neuroepithelial neoplasms of the choroid plexus that represent the non-malignant form of a spectrum of tumors of the choroid plexus. The vast majority of CPPs present in children under 5 years of age. Some CPPs are diagnosed prenatally, but many of them reach a large size before diagnosis. CPPs typically present with signs and symptoms of hydrocephalus. Treatment of these tumors has traditionally been with surgical resection. Large CPPs in young children present a challenge due to risk of high blood loss during resection. Here, the authors describe the case of a 3-month-old presenting with hydrocephalus and a large CPP of the third ventricle that was managed with a staged strategy of embolization followed by a delayed resection, allowing the tumor to involute prior to surgery.
