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

Originally described by Perkins in 1926, gangliogliomas are typically low-grade, slow-growing tumors (WHO Grade I or II) composed of dysplastic neuronal and glial cells. They most commonly affect children and young adults under 30 and are usually found within brain tissue (parenchymal locations). Involvement of the ventricular system is exceptionally rare, with cases in the lateral ventricles being even scarcer. This report presents an unusual case of an intra- and extra-ventricular ganglioglioma in a 61-year-old male patient, who presented with acute and progressive symptoms of increased intracranial pressure. His medical history included hypertension and diabetes. The diagnosis was confirmed via stereotactic CT-guided brain biopsy. This case report also includes a comprehensive review of the current literature to shed light on this rare and diagnostically challenging tumor.
