Cortical Ependymoma Presenting as Subclinical Seizures in a Very Young Child.
Article in Cureus, 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
Supratentorial cortical ependymoma is an extremely rare malignancy in the pediatric population, especially in very young age groups. Most of the reported cases present with dramatic neurological symptoms like seizures and sudden onset hemiplegia. We hereby report a case of anaplastic supra-cortical ependymoma in a 13-month-old male child, with subtle seizures for four weeks. The child, who was brought for non-neurological complaints to the outpatient clinic, was found to have abnormal staring episodes. An electroencephalogram showed focal epilepsy and an MRI brain showed a large intra-axial lesion in the left frontal area. The child underwent gross total resection of the lesion and histopathology revealed WHO grade 3 cortical ependymoma.
