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

A postoperative intradiploic arachnoid diverticulum secondary to endoscopic third ventriculostomy is an extremely rare occurrence. It has a varied clinical presentation and is caused by the insinuation of the arachnoid through the dural rent into the intradiploic compartment following the procedure. This case report describes an incidentally diagnosed right parietal intradiploic arachnoid diverticulum as a complication of endoscopic third ventriculostomy. Skull radiography revealed an expansion of the right parietal bone with an intact outer table. Non-contrast computed tomography showed a well-defined cystic lesion in the intradiploic compartment, accompanied by expansion of the right parietal bone. A subsequent magnetic resonance imaging distinguished it from an epidermoid cyst. Knowledge of this rare entity is cardinal for early diagnosis and management, required to prevent potential neurological sequelae.
