Intracranial Rupture of an Intradiploic Dermoid Cyst Resembling an Erupting Volcano: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of the Korean Society of Radiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Dermoid cysts originate from embryonic tissues trapped in the cranial fusion lines and typically manifest extra-axially. However, intradiploic dermoid cysts are rare among cranial tumors, and their rupture has been sparsely documented. We present a case showcasing a remarkable phenomenon-the spontaneous rupture of an intradiploic dermoid cyst into the subarachnoid space, displaying a distinct "volcano-like" appearance on CT and MRI scans. This case represents the first documented instance of spontaneous intracranial rupture of an intradiploic dermoid cyst into the subarachnoid space. Although uncommon, this rupture poses a risk of severe complications, such as chemical meningitis and vasospasm. This extraordinary presentation of an uncommon lesion at an atypical location may contribute to a better understanding of the potential mechanisms of rupture, thereby emphasizing the importance of recognition and exploration.
