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

Primary intracranial malignant melanoma(PIMM) is often difficult to treat in patients without a history of skin melanoma or extensive melanin deposition. Due to the rarity of the disease, the current accepted treatment is surgical resection, but the prognosis is still poor. We report a case of PIMM in an adolescent girl with epilepsy as the only symptom and atypical imaging findings. PIMM was confirmed by further pathological and clinical examination. We summarize previous cases to discuss the clinical manifestations, imaging, pathological and genetic characteristics of the disease, aiming to improve the clinician's understanding of the disease. This case underscores the PIMM as a differential diagnosis and prompt surgical treatment for adolescents with epileptic seizures accompanied by intracranial space-occupying lesions, even in the absence of extensive skin blackening.
