Spinal Dissemination of Pineal Parenchymal Tumors of Intermediate Differentiation Over 10 Years After Initial Treatment: 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
Pineal parenchymal tumors (PPTs) are rare, accounting for less than 0.3% of all primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors. Pineal parenchymal tumors of intermediate differentiation (PPTID) (WHO grade 2 or 3) show an intermediate prognosis between pineocytoma and pineoblastoma. The clinical course is unknown, and the optimal treatment for PPTID, especially for recurrence, has not been determined. We report a case of PPTID with spinal dissemination over 10 years after treatment and survival for four years. A 56-year-old woman presented with headaches and diplopia. Computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a pineal mass, but leptomeningeal dissemination was not identified on whole-spine MRI. Microsurgical gross total tumor resection (GTR) was performed, and the pathological diagnosis was PPTID (grade 3). In addition, a later study found it to harbor a
