Rare Giant Infected Intradiploic Skull Epidermoid Cysts.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Infections associated with giant intradiploic cranial epidermoid cysts are rare. This case report describes the successful surgical management of a 71-year-old diabetic man with a giant intradiploic cranial epidermoid cyst associated with a secondary infection. The patient underwent successful resection of the infected lesion with washout, debridement, and obliteration of the eustachian canal and external auditory canal. At the six-month follow-up, the infection was resolved and the patient was doing well clinically. Intradiploic epidermoid cysts are rare, and the presence of a superimposed otogenic infection is exceptionally rare and infrequently reported in the neurosurgical literature.
