A Rare Location of Polymorphous Low-Grade Neuroepithelial Tumor of the Young (PLNTY) of the Thalamus: A Case Report and Review of Literature.
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
Polymorphous low-grade neuroepithelial tumor of the young (PLNTY) is a rare CNS WHO Grade I brain tumor that typically affects children and young adults and may be associated with seizures. Thalamic involvement is exceedingly rare. We report a case of a 29-year-old male with persistent paresthesias in the right upper and lower limbs and suspected sensory seizures. Imaging revealed a left thalamic space-occupying lesion. Stereotactic biopsy confirmed PLNTY. The case highlights the rare presentation of PLNTY in an unusual location and in an adult, emphasising the need for accurate pathological diagnosis in atypical presentations.
