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

Intracranial lipomas are extremely rare fat-containing lesions that comprise 0.1%-0.5% of all primary brain tumors. They are congenital lesions that arise due to persistence and maldifferentiation of the meninx primitive (subarachnoid space precursor). We report a case of a 30-year-old woman who presented with seizures due to an intracranial lipoma and no neurological deficits. CT (computerized tomography) imaging findings demonstrated a large interhemispheric partially calcified lipoma that communicated with a large scalp lipoma and was associated with agenesis of the corpus callosum. Compared to the prior CT imaging, the lipoma increased in size from 3.4 cm to 4.1 cm transversely. A recent CT angiogram done due to suspicion of an aneurysm showed the lipoma now measuring 6 cm by 4.7 cm. Most cases of intracranial lipoma have been reported in the pediatric age group. Here, we report a rare case of interhemispheric intracranial lipoma in the adult age group. This case also demonstrates the importance of imaging modalities for detecting intracranial lipoma without performing invasive brain biopsy.
