Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma in the absence of tuberous sclerosis: illustrative case.
Article in Journal of neurosurgery. Case lessons, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundSubependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA) is a benign intraventricular tumor classically arising near the Foramen of Monro. SEGAs almost always present as a component of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by lesions in multiple organs. OBSERVATIONS: A 22-year-old female with no past medical history presented with new-onset right-eye pressure, floaters in the right visual field, and pulsatile tinnitus. Imaging revealed an avidly enhancing mass abutting the right Foramen of Monro, causing obstructive hydrocephalus. Following resection, histopathological analysis identified the lesion as a SEGA. However, on further workup, the patient was found to have no genetic or clinical findings of TSC, which exemplifies a rare case of SEGA in the absence of a TSC diagnosis. LESSONS: It is essential for physicians to be aware of the possibility of SEGA in the absence of other characteristics of TSC, which has many implications for a patient's clinical course. The authors present the seventh case of SEGA without genetic or clinical features of TSC described in the literature.
