Ependymoma with metastases to the gallbladder: A case report and literature review.
Article in Oncology letters, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Metastatic ependymoma of the gallbladder is an exceptionally rare condition that remains relatively unreported in the scientific literature. The present study described a case involving a 42-year-old female patient who underwent right frontal lobe surgery for ependymoma in 2017 and subsequently received adjuvant chemotherapy. The histological examination of the surgical specimen confirmed the presence of ependymoma metastasis in the gallbladder. The presentation and outcome of this patient with regard to metastatic ependymoma in the gallbladder were evaluated. During a follow-up period of 10 months, the patient received targeted treatment following the surgery. Presently, the patient has developed lung and bone metastases. In the present report, the treatment and diagnostic approach utilized in this unique case were outlined with the aim of providing valuable insight for future clinical management and enhancing clinicians' understanding of the disease.
