Ecchordosis physaliphora: Case report and brief review of the literature.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 9 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
Ecchordosis physaliphora is a rare congenital benign hamartomatous lesion originating from nodal cord remnants. This is histopathologically indistinguishable from chordoma, and hence imaging plays a key role in diagnosis. These lesions are hypointense on T1-weighted and hyperintense on T2-weighted images, and follow CSF signal. In contrast to chordoma, Ecchordosis Physaliphora does not demonstrate contrast enhancement. Here, we present a case of 32-year-old male with no prior medical history, who presented to an outside facility for chronic headache workup and incidentally detected indeterminate lytic defect in the bony clivus with a well demarcated smoothly corticated margin. Further assessment with MRI brain showed findings characteristic of Ecchordosis physaliphora, a benign congenital hamartomatous lesion originating from nodal cord remnants requiring no additional follow-up imaging or intervention.
