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

The authors present the first reported case of MVNT in the thalamus in a 60-year-old man with a 20-year history of epilepsy and recent progressive neurological decline presented for neurosurgical evaluation for a non-enhancing mass predominantly in the right thalamus presumed to be a low-grade glioma. The tumor was subtotally resected using a left contralateral interhemispheric transcallosal approach. Histological and molecular assessment revealed an MVNT with MAPK pathway-activating mutation. The authors also conducted a systematic review of pathology-proven cases of MVNT to provide an up-to-date overview of the literature on the localization, presenting symptoms, and recurrence of this tumor.
