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
Ischemic stroke is a rare presentation for intracranial mass lesions in children. It has been described in association with intrasellar tumours, especially with pituitary adenomas and less frequently with craniopharyngiomas. Vascular events have been exceptionally described in association with arachnoid cysts, with only three cases reported. We present here a unique case of a paediatric intraventricular arachnoid cyst that spread both intraventricularly (right trigone) and intracisternally (quadrigeminal plate) and presented as an acute ischemic stroke, secondary to compression of the artery of Percheron, an anatomic variant in which a single dominant thalamoperforating artery supplies variable portions of the upper midbrain and paramedian thalami on both sides. The patient presented with diplopia, left facial nerve palsy, ataxia, and paralysis of upward gaze. He was treated with urgent endoscopic fenestration and antiplatelet agents and made a full clinical recovery.
