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

Craniopharyngiomas (CP) ectopic localizations off the midline outside the sellar-suprasellar region are very rare and most often associated to secondary tumor dissemination, being primary ectopic CPs extremely unusual. We herein report the first case of a primary ectopic craniopharyngioma within the orbit. A 15-year-old patient presented with progressive right ptosis, proptosis, and retro ocular pain. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a predominantly cystic lesion, occupying the superolateral right corner of the orbit, outside the intraconal space with no evidence of intracranial involvement. An endoscopic transorbital eyelid approach was adopted. Pathology report disclosed a primary ectopic craniopharyngioma.
