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

Intracranial chondroma is extremely rare. The treatment of choice is total tumor excision when resectable. A 30-year-old female patient presented with a giant intracranial chondroma that had enlarged for 18 years. In this case, we totally removed the tumor and reconstructed the meninges, cranium, and left ear using fascia lata, a combination of titan mesh and cement, and the posterior auricular artery axial flap, respectively. The aesthetic outcome was acceptable. No recurrence was identified after 7 months of follow-up. The patient was satisfied with the outcome. The lack of access to high-tech tools, such as 3-dimensional simulation, makes preoperative planning more difficult. Total tumor removal is currently the treatment of choice when the mass is resectable. It is a safe surgery, and with proper reconstruction procedures, an acceptable appearance can be achieved. Further multicenter studies with a greater sample size are needed to make a systematic treatment approach for intracranial chondroma.
