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

Astroblastoma is a rare tumor, which is mostly found in pediatric population. Due to scarcity of literature, the data about treatment is lacking. We are reporting case of brainstem astroblastoma in an adult female. A 45-year-old lady presented with complaint of headache, vertigo, vomiting, and nasal regurgitation for 3 months. On examination, she had weak gag, left hemiparesis. Magnetic resonance imaging brain reported medulla oblongata mass, dorsally exophytic. She underwent suboccipital craniotomy and decompression of mass. Histopathology confirmed diagnosis of astroblastoma. She underwent radiotherapy and recovered well. Brainstem astroblastoma is an extremely rare entity. The surgical resection is possible due to well-defined plane. For best outcome, maximum resection and radiation are indicated.
