Glioependymal cyst regression in watchful waiting follow-up.

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
Background: Intracranial glioependymal cysts are rare developmental benign lesions usually derived from the third and lateral ventricles. They can show no symptoms throughout life and be an incidental finding or can cause mild-to-severe symptoms which need surgical treatment. Case Description: We present the case of a giant glioependymal cyst of the left lateral ventricle in a newborn baby diagnosed at birth. Hydrocephalus was suspected in the prenatal ultrasound check-up at 37 weeks, leading to careful imaging exploration with brain computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which suggested the diagnosis of a neuroepithelial cyst. Apgar score at birth was normal and there was no sign of hydrocephalus. Watchful waiting follow-ups every month in the 1 Conclusion: In symptomatic neuroepithelial cysts with progressive growth, surgery is recommended. The natural history of untreated glioependymal cysts remains unknown. A conservative approach with periodical follow-ups can be considered in asymptomatic cases, because, rarely, spontaneous shrinking of the cyst can happen.
