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

Cortical ependymomas are currently not considered a subgroup of supratentorial ependymomas; however, there is a growing body of literature investigating the natural history of these lesions compared to supratentorial ependymomas. We performed a systematic literature review of cortical ependymomas with a focus on the natural history, clinical characteristics, and clinical outcomes of these lesions as compared to supratentorial ependymomas. Our search revealed 153 unique cases of cortical ependymomas. The mean age on presentation was 21.2 years. Males and females comprised 58.8% (90/153) and 41.2% (63/153) of cases, respectively. The most common presenting symptom was seizure activity occurring in 44.4% of the cohort (68/153). The recently recognized
