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

Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is a heritable cancer syndrome in which benign and malignant tumors and/or cysts develop throughout the central nervous system (CNS) and visceral organs. The disease results from mutations in the VHL tumor suppressor gene located on chromosome 3 (3p25-26). A majority of individuals (60-80%) with VHL disease will develop CNS hemangioblastomas (HMG). Endolymphatic sac tumor (ELST) is an uncommon, locally aggressive tumor located in the medial and posterior petrosal bone region. Its diagnosis is based on clinical, radiological, and pathological correlation, and it can occur in the setting of VHL in up to 10-15% of individuals. We describe a 17-year-old male who presented with a chief complaint of hearing loss. Brain and spine Magnetic Resonance Imaging documented the presence of an expansive lesion in the left cerebellar hemisphere, compatible with HMG in association with a second cerebellopontine lesion compatible with ELST. The peculiarity of the reported case is due to the simultaneous presence of two typical characteristics of VHL, which led to performing comprehensive genetic testing, thus allowing for the diagnosis of VHL. Furthermore, ELST is rare before the fourth decade of life. Early detection of these tumors plays a key role in the optimal management of this condition.
