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

Gliosarcoma (GS) is an extraordinarily rare variant of glioblastoma, which is differentiated by its distinct biphasic histopathological morphology consisting of both glial and mesenchymal elements. Although GS has a predilection for the cortical hemispheres, rare occurrences of intraventricular gliosarcoma (IVGS) have been documented in the literature. In this report, we present a 68-year-old female patient with a primary IVGS arising from the frontal horn of the left ventricle with corresponding left ventricular entrapment. The clinical course as well as associated tumor features as observed on computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and immunohistochemical studies are presented along with a relevant review of the current literature.
