Colloid cyst of the third ventricle.
Article in Journal of the American College of Emergency Physicians open, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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 colloid cyst is a malformation composed of an amorphous, gelatinous material surrounded by epithelial and connective tissue. It is typically located in the third ventricle, leading to signs of increased intracranial pressure and hydrocephalus. In this case report, we discuss a classic presentation of a patient presenting with a colloid cyst of the third ventricle. This includes the patient's symptoms before arriving at the emergency department and presentation upon arrival and during their hospital stay. We also discuss the diagnostic approach to colloid cysts, providing radiographic imaging to support the diagnosis. Finally, we discuss the approach to treatment of a colloid cyst, including temporizing measures to relieve symptoms and definitive measures for removal of the colloid cyst. The overall approach from diagnosis to management to definitive treatment of a colloid cyst requires an interdisciplinary approach but prompt recognition of the signs and symptoms in the ED can decrease both morbidity and mortality associated with this potentially fatal diagnosis.
