Multinodular and Vacuolating Neuronal Tumor: Incidental Diagnosis of a Rare Brain Lesion.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Multinodular and vacuolating neuronal tumor (MVNT) is a rare benign brain lesion, commonly found in middle-aged adults. The patients experience a range of symptoms from being asymptomatic to epileptic seizures, with headache being the most common symptom. Here we report a case of an incidental diagnosis of MVNT in a young female. A 25-year-old female with a past medical history of occasional headaches without seizures or any focal neurological deficit presented after a motor vehicle rollover. The MRI brain revealed an incidental finding of a subcortical lesion in the right parietal lobe with T2-FLAIR (fluid-attenuated inversion recovery) hyperintensity between the cystic portions, indicative of a possible MVNT, with a less probable chance of dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor based on the subcortical location of the lesion. No neurosurgical intervention was recommended. With one-year follow-up, no changes were noted on neuroimaging, and the patient remained stable without any neurological symptoms. The MVNT is a rare brain lesion that presents with benign features. In patients with epileptic symptoms, surgical resection of the lesion can be curative. However, in asymptomatic patients, careful monitoring may be sufficient, as described in this case.
