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

Arachnoid cysts are extra-axial cerebrospinal fluid collections located in the arachnoid space that usually do not communicate with the ventricular system. They are commonly found in the middle cranial fossa around the Sylvian fissure. Most of them are asymptomatic, but subdural collections or intracystic hemorrhages can complicate their natural course. Cases of intracystic hemorrhage and subdural hematoma, especially in the absence of traumatic events, have been scarcely reported. Arachnoid cysts outside the middle cranial fossa are rarely associated with an intracystic hemorrhage. We present the case of a 10-year-old boy with a known right parietal brain arachnoid cyst who complained of progressive headaches for three days. There was no history of trauma. The head CT scan showed a 2-cm isodense subacute subdural hematoma, causing a mass effect on the underlying brain. It was associated with a right parietal arachnoid cyst containing intracystic subacute blood. The symptoms were relieved after burr-hole surgical drainage of the intracystic hemorrhage and associated subacute subdural hematoma.
