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

Pineal region pilocytic astrocytomas are extremely rare, and there is limited information about their radiological features. We report the case of a 22-year-old woman with a cystic lesion in the pineal region. In the 2 years after diagnosis, the lesion irregularly extended along the bilateral internal cerebral veins and the inferolateral surface of the corpus callosum. Gross total resection was achieved, and the histopathological study revealed that the lesion was a pilocytic astrocytoma. The lesion exhibited uncommon growth, leading to difficulty in establishing an accurate preoperative diagnosis. It should be noted that pineal region pilocytic astrocytomas can demonstrate atypical appearances.
