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

Adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma (ACP) is one of the two types of craniopharyngioma recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO), the other being papillary craniopharyngioma (PCP). These rare, benign tumours of the pituitary region are classified as Grade 1 central nervous system (CNS) tumours. ACP predominantly affects adolescents aged 5-15 years and adults over 50 years. It is usually located in the sellar and suprasellar regions. We present the case of an 18-year-old Malaysian female with a six-year history of persistent epistaxis and progressive nasal obstruction, an atypical presentation of ACP. This report highlights an entirely ectopic location of ACP in the sinonasal region. The tumour encompassed the left nasal cavity, the left anterior and posterior ethmoid sinuses, and the bilateral frontal sinuses. The unusual presentation of this tumour was detected with the aid of CT and MRI and confirmed by histopathological examination. In this case report, we discuss a rare presentation, an unusual location, and the strategies employed to overcome these challenges.
