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

We report the case of a patient with craniopharyngioma who demonstrated ectopic spread to the right temporal lobe and concurrent local recurrence, 10 years after her initial diagnosis. The patient additionally demonstrated new-onset psychotic symptoms of uncertain etiology during her admission. Lesion network mapping identified the ectopic lesion as a putative cause for her psychosis. These findings were substantiated after the resection of the ectopic lesion and subsequent resolution of her psychiatric symptoms. This report adds to the rare accounts of ectopic craniopharyngioma, while highlighting the utility of network-based analyses in peri-operative tumor evaluation and the assessment of atypical neuropsychiatric phenomena.
