Primary intracranial myoepithelioma in a child.
Article in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 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
Myoepitheliomal tumours, associated with the salivary glands and certain soft tissue sites, are unusually encountered in the central nervous system (CNS). In the brain, although the most common location is the Sella, other areas can infrequently be involved. Such intracranial lesions are exceptionally rare in children. We report a case of CNS myoepithelioma in a child harbouring an intra-axial posterior frontal mass and briefly review the relevant literature. This 8-year-old-boy presenting with features of intracranial pressure effects underwent excision of the lesion, and the diagnosis was confirmed with histopathology and immunohistochemical studies. He had a good clinical outcome. Unusually, primary intracranial myoepitheliomas can manifest as cerebral parenchymal mass lesions. Although these are usually a pathological surprise, the index case and available limited reports highlight the need for an awareness of such uncommon paediatric tumours, both in an intra-axial and dural location.
