Thalamic Ganglioglioma Treated With Radical Radiotherapy: A Rare Location and an Exclusive Form of Treatment.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Gangliogliomas (GG) are rare primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors. These CNS tumors are more commonly located at the supratentorial level. The treatment of choice for these tumors is surgical resection, and the role of radiotherapy remains controversial. A 61-year-old woman who presented with seizures underwent a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which showed a left-side thalamic lesion with one solid and two cystic components. A neuronavigation-guided brain biopsy of the lesion established the diagnosis of GG, with expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) for glial cells and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and synaptophysin for ganglion cells. Due to the location of the lesion, the patient underwent radical radiotherapy. Post-treatment MRIs revealed a reduction in tumor dimensions. In conclusion, we emphasize the role of radiotherapy in the treatment of cerebral GG.
