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

Intracranial chondrosarcomas are rare malignant lesions. Both skull base and dural-based extraosseous chondrosarcomas have been reported to occur intracranially. Dural-based chondrosarcomas arising from the falx cerebri are rare lesions with only 19 cases reported till date. Although conventional, mesenchymal, and myxoid variants of chondrosarcomas have been reported intracranially, myxoid variant are the rarest with only 17 cases reported till date, among which only 2 were falcine. We are reporting the third case of falcine myxoid chondrosarcoma in a 32-year-old man who presented with seizures and subtle lower limb weakness. Radiological findings were suggestive of an atypical meningioma in the falcine region. Macroscopically total resection of the tumor was done. Histopathological examination confirmed myxoid chondrosarcoma, grade 1. Postoperative period was uneventful, and the patient remains asymptomatic 34 months after the surgery without the application of any adjuvant therapy. Falcine myxoid chondrosarcomas are extremely rare lesions with variable aggressiveness as suggested by the three cases reported till now including the present case.
