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

Dermoid cysts (DCs) are benign congenital lesions that originate in the ectoderm cells produced during the formation of the neural tube. They are usually located at the cerebral midline, and, on rare occasions, at the suprasellar level. In this case report, we present a 17-year-old female patient with minimal symptoms (hyposmia) caused by a suprasellar dermoid cyst extending toward the anterior cranial fossa and the olfactory nerves with subsequent frontotemporal craniotomy and the subtotal removal of the tumor. Given the rare features of this case, the chosen surgical strategy achieved tumor subtotal resection and symptom remission.
