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

Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors (AT/RTs) are embryological tumors of the central nervous system (CNS). They are typically found in children, with rare presentations in adults. We describe the presentation of an AT/RT in the pituitary region of a 37-year-old female. The patient presented with a two-week history of intractable cephalgia with sudden onset of monocular diplopia and left-sided cranial nerve VI palsy. The patient underwent transsphenoidal resection of their mass, which revealed the diagnosis. She then underwent systemic therapy with chemotherapy as well as radiation. She ultimately died 14 months after treatment completion due to unrelated events. The case highlights the rarity of AT/RT in adults, emphasizing the challenge of establishing standardized treatment protocols due to its rarity in adult presentations.
