Acute hydrocephalus caused by colloid cyst of third ventricle: A case report.

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
Colloid cysts (CCs) of third ventricle are rare benign lesions. They present with acute hydrocephalus and its sequalae like brain herniation, infarcts resulting even death in otherwise healthy individual. We present a case of an acute hydrocephalus caused by CC of third ventricle. A middle age male was airlifted from a remote district of Nepal to our hospital with no accompanying doctor. The patient had headache, multiple episodes of vomiting, abnormal body movement, and loss of consciousness for 24 hours. On examination, vitals were stable; the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score was 7. The patient was intubated in emergency and an MRI brain was done. MRI showed an obstructive lesion in third ventricle with features consistent with CC and an active hydrocephalus. There were multifocal infarcts in the bilateral cerebrum, left part of mid brain and pons, left thalamus and left superior cerebellum. We inserted external ventricular drainage in emergency operation theatre within hours and endoscopic excision of the lesion was done on the next day. In histopathology, the lesion was confirmed to be a CC.
