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

Heterotopic occurrence of neuroglial tissue is an exceedingly rare phenomenon with unclear pathogenesis, often presenting as lesions outside the central nervous system (CNS). We report a unique case of heterotopic neuroglial tissue identified in the thoracic cavity of a fetus aborted at 14 weeks due to a suspected Dandy-Walker malformation. The fetus exhibited neuroglial tissue growth subpleurally, alongside a suspected Dandy-Walker malformation and ventricular septal defect. While theories such as vascular embolisation, aspiration, and aberrant migration attempt to explain such occurrences, the exact etiology remains elusive. Our case suggests a potential association between triploidy and neuroglial heterotopia, supporting the aberrant migration and differentiation theory.
