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

Cavernous sinus hemangioma (CSH) is a rare vascular malformation, arising from the cavernous sinus. Because of its anatomically complex location, a large lesion can cause a variety of symptoms due to cranial nerve compression. A 69-year-old woman with an unsteady gait was admitted to our hospital, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed an extra-axial giant tumor in the cavernous sinus and enlarged ventricles. A radiographic diagnosis of CSH was made. As the risk of surgical removal was considered high, the patient underwent intensity-modulated radiation therapy of 50.4 Gy in 28 fractions. The size of the tumor decreased markedly over time, and the symptoms improved soon after treatment. A 61.8% reduction in tumor size was confirmed immediately after irradiation, and a 75.9% reduction was revealed at a follow-up visit one year later. We reported a case of a giant CSH with hydrocephalus, where tumor shrinkage was confirmed immediately after radiation therapy, and the symptoms of hydrocephalus improved without surgical intervention.
