Pilocytic Astrocytoma Presenting with Spontaneous Cerebellar Hemorrhage: 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
Hemorrhagic pilocytic astrocytomas (PAs) are rare, accounting for 1.1%-8.0% of all PA cases. They are reported to occur more frequently in older populations, with a male predominance. In this study, we report a case of a 14-year-old boy who presented with a headache, vertigo, and diplopia. As per his brain computed tomography scan, a small hematoma was observed in the left inferior cerebellar peduncle. Follow-up magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed repeated minor bleeding from the lesion and mild expansion, with no neurological deficits. Four years later, the patient developed nausea, vomiting, and left abducens palsy. MRI revealed a mulberry-shaped mass surrounded by a hypointense rim, suggesting a cavernous angioma. The lesion was surgically resected via midline occipital craniotomy with the opening of the cerebellomedullary fissure. Histopathological examination of the lesion revealed PA. Next-generation sequencing analyses revealed that PAs harbored mutations in the
