Colloid Cyst: A Potentially Life-Threatening Etiology of Severe Headache in a Patient With Migraine.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 2 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
Headache is a common cause of emergency department (ED) visits. Migraine is a prevalent neurological disorder that is encountered by emergency physicians in day-to-day practice. However, patients with a known history of migraines should be carefully evaluated when presenting with headaches and serious pathologies of headache should be ruled out. We report the case of a 43-year-old woman, with a known history of classic migraine, who presented to the ED with a severe headache. She described the headache as persistent generalized pain. The headache was worse on awakening and bending. The headache did not improve with the use of oral sumatriptan. She reported that the current episode of headache is more severe than her usual migraine headaches. The patient underwent a cranial CT scan which demonstrated a homogenously hyperdense well-defined round lesion located in the midline at the approximate location of the foramen of Monro with prominent lateral ventricles, conferring the diagnosis of the colloid cyst. The patient underwent a right craniotomy with resection of the cyst using the transcallosal approach. Recognition of this important diagnosis is crucial to prevent serious neurological complications by having timely management.
