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

Diffuse glioneuronal tumor with oligodendroglioma-like features and nuclear clusters (DGONC) is a newly recognized provisional entity in the fifth edition of the WHO Classification of Central Nervous System Tumors, typically found in pediatric patients with supratentorial disease. We describe a male in his forties who presented with recurrent seizures and was found to have a heavily calcified lesion in the left temporal lobe and an additional lesion in the sacral region of the thecal sac; tissue biopsy of the sacral lesion demonstrated an oligodendroglioma-like morphology, strong synaptophysin and OLIG2 expression, and absent widespread GFAP staining, consistent with DGONC. This represents an unusual occurrence of DGONC outside the supratentorial region, with imaging findings that mimicked a chronic inflammatory process. Radiologists should be aware of the potential for DGONC to present in atypical locations and should consider it in the differential diagnosis of apparently non-neoplastic lesions.
