A cystic anaplastic ependymoma mimicking a pilocytic astrocytoma.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Ependymomas are grouped in 4 subtypes based on their cellular characteristics including subependymoma, myxopapillary ependymoma, classic ependymoma, and anaplastic ependymoma. Among those, anaplastic ependymoma are the most malignant and fast-growing tumors as grade III according to the fifth edition of the WHO classification of tumors of the central nervous system. Commonly, ependymoma is predominantly solid. The cystic ependymoma is very rare. In this paper, we aimed to introduce a 2-year-old male with cystic anaplastic ependymoma inside fourth ventricle which was misdiagnosed as a pilocytic astrocytoma. We recommend that the possibility of anaplastic ependymoma should be taken into account in every case of infratentorial cyst inside the fourth ventricle without mural nodule and with rim enhancement.
