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

Background: Intracranial lipomas are a rare clinical entity. These lesions are frequently asymptomatic and originate in the pericallosal area. As they are fat-containing lesions which are intimately attached to the surrounding structures, surgery is not recommended. In some individual reports, subtotal resection is recommended to lessen complications. There have been no previous reports of corpus callosum lipoma (CCL) associated with limited dorsal myeloschizis (LDM). Case Description: We describe the case of a combination of CCL and bilateral choroid plexus lipoma discovered incidentally during the investigation of LDM in a 3-month-old male child. Given the asymptomatic behavior of the lipoma and the vascular elements of the pericallosal area, it was decided to monitor it regularly. Thus, the patient underwent surgery only for LDM. Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis, and postoperative follow-up 1 year after showed good evolution. To the best of our knowledge, this association has never been described in the literature. Conclusion: This case suggests a possible developmental relationship between CCL and spinal dysraphism.
