Unmasking a Hemangioblastoma: A Case of Obstructive Hydrocephalus in a 43-Year-Old Male Patient.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This case report discusses a 43-year-old male patient with a history of chronic kidney disease and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) who presented with nonspecific symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, and mild headaches. Initially attributed to gastrointestinal issues, further investigation revealed a 1 cm enhancing mass in the fourth ventricle via imaging, causing obstructive hydrocephalus. A successful suboccipital craniotomy was performed to resect the hemangioblastoma, a highly vascular tumor. The patient had an uneventful recovery and was scheduled for follow-up to monitor for potential recurrence and associated conditions, such as those related to von Hippel-Lindau syndrome. This case highlights the critical importance of considering brain tumors in patients with vague presenting symptoms and reinforces the role of timely imaging and surgical intervention in improving patient outcomes.
