Hemorrhagic astroblastoma: atypical presentation of a rare tumor. Illustrative case.
Article in Journal of neurosurgery. Case lessons, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundAstroblastoma is an extremely rare tumor of the central nervous system, and its origin and validity as a different entity are still being debated. Because of its rarity and similarities to other glial neoplasms, it is often misdiagnosed, impacting treatment and outcomes. OBSERVATIONS: Astroblastoma is very rare and mainly affects children and young adults. It does not have a definitive World Health Organization grade and is divided into low- and high-grade categories. The clinical presentation is consistent with signs of intracranial hypertension. Radiographic imaging shows a bubbly, solid-cystic supratentorial mass with irregular contrast enhancement. The case reported herein is unusual because the intratumoral hemorrhage caused compression and midline shift, requiring urgent surgery. LESSONS: Astroblastoma with intratumoral hemorrhage is atypical and is associated with high-grade tumors. Managing severe intracranial hypertension requires emergency surgery to prevent fatalities. Treatment can include adjunctive chemotherapy and radiation therapy based on the extent of tumor resection. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE24486.
