Pial Laceration from a Dural Suture Causing Devastating Neurological Deficits.

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
A 39-year-old man received empiric treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). After developing sensory seizures he was restarted on anti-TB drugs when a brain MRI showed a 4.3 cm left parietal enhancing lesion with extensive edema. After TB treatment, imaging showed a reduction in size and edema. Later, he developed headache and seizures, and MRI showed recurrent edema and an enlarging lesion. Neurosurgery decided to biopsy the lesion to obtain a diagnosis. At craniotomy, a frozen section was reported as granulomatous inflammation. However, he returned postOP with a new right hemiparesis and MRI showed a cystic lesion under the motor cortex, with no enhancement. Craniotomy was performed and the lesion was excised and exploration revealed that one of the dural stitches had lacerated the brain as a cause of the cyst formation. The case differential and management is discussed in detail.
