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

introductionPineal region cavernoma is a rare diagnosis comprising <1 % of all cerebral cavernous malformations with female preponderance. These vascular malformations are benign and curable compared to other lesions in the region. CASE PRESENTATION: A 40-year female presented with bilateral temporal headache and multiple episodes of vomiting and was diagnosed as pineal cavernoma. She was managed effectively with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt for hydrocephalus. DISCUSSION: MRI provides an effective and accurate diagnosis in cavernous lesions of pineal region. Pineal cavernoma has higher risk of rebleeding and can cause acute obstructive hydrocephalus. Treatment of hydrocephalus is necessary if the surgical treatment is not possible.

conclusionThis case report highlights the importance of early diagnosis and an option for palliative approach of management of pineal cavernoma.
