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

Background: Lhermitte-Duclos disease (LDD) is a rare condition that typically presents with signs and symptoms of cerebellar dysfunction and elevated intracranial pressure. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a pivotal role in the diagnosis of LDD as its characteristic "tiger-striped" appearance is believed to be diagnostic enough to eliminate the need for histopathological examination. We present a case of cerebellar ganglioglioma mimicking the distinct MRI appearance of LDD. Case report: A 46-year-old female patient presented with increasing dizziness, blurred vision and headaches. An MRI scan demonstrated the presence of heterogeneous, nonenhancing mass with the characteristic "tiger-striped" appearance of LDD. However, after tumor resection, histopathological examination demonstrated that the tumor histological architecture resembles that of gangliogliomas rather than LDD, leading to an altered diagnosis and therapeutic approach. Conclusion: LDD's "tiger-striped" might not be as unique as previously thought, and histopathological examination is essential for proper diagnosis, treatment and follow-up.
