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: Cavum septum pellucidum (CSP) and cavum vergae (CV) are normal anatomical variations present in some children, adolescents, and adults. When the cavity is larger than normal, it is called a cyst. Symptomatic cases of CSP and CV cyst are rare, and the clinical presentation is varied. A case with multiple nerve involvement is described. Case Description: A healthy 17-year-old female presented a sudden headache, right cervicobrachialgia, right ptosis, visual changes, and left facial paralysis over 10 days. Head magnetic resonance imaging revealed CSP and CV cyst. Inflammation, infection, and vascular disorders were ruled out. We decided to perform a right transfrontal endoscopic intraventricular septostomy and a right Monro foraminoplasty, which were successful. One month after surgery, the patient had no more signs or symptoms. She has remained asymptomatic for the past year. Conclusion: Multiple nerve involvement was directly related to CSP and CV cyst. The cyst bilaterally occluded the foramen of Monro causing intracranial hypertension. It was possible to obtain complete resolution of the clinical features through neuroendoscopic fenestration and foraminoplasty.
