Late-onset rupture of an intracranial dermoid cyst: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundDermoid cysts are developmental abnormalities occurring between the third and fifth week of embryogenesis. These lesions can initially develop as intracranial or extracranial and persist throughout the patient's lifetime. While generally benign, their symptoms can be due to mass effect or local irritation secondary to rupture and release of contents, typically presenting as headaches and seizures. Intracranial dermoid cysts are rare and comprise less than 1% of all intracranial lesions, with rupture occurring approximately 0.18% of the time. CASE PRESENTATION: Our case describes a 42-year-old Hispanic female with a late-onset rupture of an intracranial dermoid cyst with associated new onset seizures. She underwent uncomplicated neurosurgical resection with mesh placement and was scheduled to follow-up as an outpatient.
conclusionTo avoid rupture and associated sequelae in future patients, we recommend considering a more invasive approach as the initial strategy if internal cysts are relatively accessible.
