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: The radiographic presentation of the primary intraosseous cavernous hemangiomas (PICHs) is nonspecific. We report a case of clival PICH mimicking a chordoma with a literature review. Case Description: A 57-year-old woman presented with diplopia that started a few days before the presentation. She had transient diplopia at the right lateral gaze and upper gaze with normal eye movement. The symptoms disappeared spontaneously 1 week later. She had no other complaints or neurological deficits. Computed tomography revealed an intraosseous mass lesion and bone erosion of the middle and lower clivus, extending laterally to the right occipital condyle. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed hyperintense and hypointense components on T2- and T1-weighted images, respectively. The lesion was larger than on MRI performed 10 years earlier. Chordoma or chondroma was considered a possible preoperative diagnosis. An endoscopic transsphenoidal approach removed the tumor. In the operating view, the lesion appeared as "moth-eaten" bony interstices filled with vascular soft tissue. Histologically, an intraosseous cavernous hemangioma was diagnosed. Conclusion: Diagnosis before surgery is difficult without characteristic radiographic findings. When making a differential diagnosis of malignant skull lesions, PICH should be considered.
