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

Calcifying pseudoneoplasms of the neuraxis (CAPNON) are very rare intracranial lesions with less than 50 cases reported in literature. These are non-neoplastic in etiology and despite having unique imaging characteristics, are often misdiagnosed as a neoplastic condition like meningioma, chordoma and gliomas. These do not have any predilection for any age, gender or intracranial location and can be seen in a wide range of age groups. Despite having an imaging overlap with neoplastic conditions, CAPNONs have classic histopathologic findings including chondromyxoid matrix, palisading spindle cells and calcific or ossific metaplasia. As more cases are being described in literature the imaging features are also being better defined. We discuss the clinical, imaging and histopathological findings of 2 cases of CAPNON mimicking posterior fossa meningioma and glial neoplasm.
