An atypical case of giant intradiploic epidermoid tumor.

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
Intradiploic epidermoid tumors are uncommon and giant epidermoid with dural involvement is scarcer. We report a unique case of a giant frontal epidermoid tumor presenting without typical features of swelling or bulge in scalp. A 61-year-old male presented with the complaints of forgetfulness and headache. Contrast magnetic resonance imaging brain revealed a large left frontal epidermoid tumor. A tumor measuring 13 × 11 × 4 cm, involving the dura but sparing the brain parenchyma, was excised through left frontal craniotomy. Such a presentation of giant epidermoid tumor with dural involvement is highly unusual. Complete surgical excision is the final aim and vigilant follow-up for recurrence is a must.
