A Rare Case of a Compressive Intracranial Epidermoid Cyst in a 13-Year-Old Patient.

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
Pediatric intracranial epidermoid tumors are rare, slow-growing benign cystic lesions primarily originating from the ectodermal cell line during human embryogenesis. Intraparenchymal epidermoid tumors typically present with headaches, seizures, and focal neurological deficits. Although CT of the brain may show non-specific findings, MRI studies are more reliable and have a high confidence value in diagnosing intracranial epidermoid cystic lesions. We report a young girl who presented with headaches and blurring of vision for a three-week duration. An MRI of her brain revealed a cystic lesion on the right side of the interpeduncular cistern and cerebellopontine angle (CPA) extending to the right optic chiasm, suggestive of an epidermoid tumor. The aim of reporting this case is to highlight the significance of having a high clinical suspicion of intracranial tumors based on the patient's clinical manifestations.
