Uncommon occipital ganglioglioma in a child: The critical role of MRI in diagnosis and management.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Epilepsy is a prevalent neurological disorder in children, with 30-35% of cases developing into intractable epilepsy despite appropriate anti-seizure medications (ASMs). Advanced imaging is crucial for early diagnosis, especially in detecting structural causes like gangliogliomas, which are associated with drug-resistant focal epilepsy. We report a 5-year-old boy with recurrent seizures, initially undetected by EEG. Persistent seizures led to the identification of an occipital lobe ganglioglioma through MRI. The tumor was successfully resected, significantly improving the patient's condition. This case emphasizes the limitations of relying solely on EEG for epilepsy diagnosis and highlights the necessity of integrating advanced imaging techniques. The successful outcome underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, involving pediatric neurologists, radiologists, and neurosurgeons, in managing complex pediatric epilepsy cases.
