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: Lhermitte-Duclos disease (LDD) or dysplastic gangliocytoma of the posterior fossa is a slow-growing and extremely rare mass lesion that involves the Purkinje neurons and the granular layer of the cerebellum. It is characterized by specific neuroradiological features and secondary hydrocephalus. However, documentation of surgical experience is scarce. Case Description: A 54-year-old man with LDD manifesting as progressive headache is presented with vertigo and cerebellar ataxia. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a right cerebellar mass lesion with the characteristic "tiger-striped appearance." We decided to perform partial resection with reduction of tumor volume improving symptomatology as a result of the mass effect in the posterior fossa. Conclusion: Surgical resection is a good alternative for the management of LDD, especially when neurological compromise exists due to mass effect.
