Epidermoid cyst in atypical intracranial areas transformed to epidermoid carcinoma: a case report.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Intracranial epidermoid cysts, also known as epidermal cysts, grow slowly and may be occult. When small, epidermoid cysts are usually clinically unremarkable or cause no definitive symptoms. At typical sites, they are easily found through magnetic resonance imaging, which aids evaluation before surgery. However, in rare cases, epidermoid cysts are situated in unusual locations or transformed to malignancy, and preoperative misdiagnosis is possible. Here, the case of a 58-year-old male patient who presented with weakness in the left lower limb and was diagnosed with a malignant epidermoid cyst in the right frontoparietal lobe, right lateral ventricle, is reported. Surgery was performed to remove the tumour followed by radiotherapy, and the patient was reported to be living independently after approximately 11 months of follow-up.
