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

Lhermitte-Duclos disease (LDD) is a rare, slow-growing neoplasm that develops in the brain's posterior fossa. It can appear as a single lesion or as part of Cowden's syndrome. We report the case of a 51-year-old female with a history of diabetes, hypertension, and a previously treated neuroendocrine tumor, who presented to the hospital after experiencing a generalized tonic-clonic seizure. Except for a tongue laceration, the neurological examination was unremarkable. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a T2 left cerebellar hemisphere pseudomass lesion with iso-hyperintense signals suggestive of Lhermitte-Duclos disease. This case describes a unique presentation of LDD and its various radiological manifestations, emphasizing the importance of neuroimaging in its diagnosis. Additionally, it contributes to the expanding literature on the varied manifestations of LDD.
