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

Epidermoid cysts are rare, benign neoplasms that account for less than 1% of all intraspinal tumors. The most common localization is in the lumbar area, and one-third of the tumors are intramedullary. In this video, the authors present removal of a thoracic intramedullary epidermoid tumor in a 6-year-old boy, carrier of a 22q11 gene duplication and affected by psychomotor retardation. He presented a 1-year history of progressive gait impairment. No history of lumbar puncture or trauma was reported. The procedure was performed under neurophysiological monitoring, and it was uneventful with complete recovery of neurological function. Technical nuances are illustrated.
