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

Purely calvarial or intradiploic cavernous haemangiomas (PICHs) are rare benign tumours accounting for 0.2% of all bone tumours and 10% of benign skull tumours. They are generally small, slow-growing and asymptomatic lesions. Here the authors described an immunocompromised patient with concomitant giant intradiploic ossified globular cavernous angioma and multifocal neurotoxoplasmosis that underwent a combined approach to treat both lesions with an en-bloc resection of the right parietal intradiploic lesion and biopsy of the left occipital subcortical lesion.Indeed, it is essential to exclude the presence of metastases by making a timely differential diagnosis. En-bloc surgical resection of purely intradiploic ossified cavernous angioma is the gold standard treatment and the prognosis after a complete excision is usually excellent with rarer recurrence rate.
