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

Background: Intracranial extraskeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma (EMCS) is a rare neoplasm and often misdiagnosed before histopathological examination due to its rarity. There were few reports previously on the radiological features of intracranial EMCS. We described a 20-year-old male patient with intracranial EMCS focusing on the imaging characteristics. Case Description: The patient was admitted to our hospital due to headache and dizziness for two months, without nausea, vomiting, limb convulsions and loss of consciousness during the illness. Pre-contrast computed tomography (CT) revealed a large slightly hyperdense mass with irregularly lobulated margins in the right parietal and occipital region and multiple patchy calcifications in peripheral of the lesion. The inner table of right parietal bone adjacent to the mass was compressed, thickened, and eroded. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exhibited intermediate and hypo-intensity on T1-weighted images (T Conclusions: A knowledge of the imaging features could facilitate differentiation of intracranial EMCS, but the final diagnosis depends on pathological examinations. This paper focuses on the imaging characteristics of EMCS and fully describes the details of lesions in order to provide clinicians with effective differential diagnosis information and improve clinical decision-making.
