A 5-year-old child presenting with tumor-like primary angiitis of the central nervous system.

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
Introduction: Primary angiitis of the central nervous system (PACNS) is a vasculitis confined to the CNS. A small proportion of the lesions may present as a tumor-like mass, which is rarely seen in children. Case presentation: A 5-year-old girl was admitted to our hospital because of an intermittent headache. Brain imaging suggested a space-occupying lesion in the right cerebral hemisphere. The final diagnosis was PACNS with a lymphocytic pattern by stereotactic brain biopsy. Her condition improved after immunotherapy. Conclusion: Pediatricians should consider the possibility of PACNS when encountering intracranial tumor-like lesions. Early diagnosis of tumor-like PACNS and prompt immunotherapy could improve the long-term prognosis and avoid surgery.
