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

Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) is a rare and highly malignant embryonal tumor of the central nervous system. It typically occurs in children younger than 3 years and is most commonly located in the posterior fossa. Intraventricular locations, such as the third ventricle, are extremely rare and pose significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Here, we report the case of a 4-year-old girl presenting with symptoms of elevated intracranial pressure, including headache, nausea, and vomiting. She was neurologically intact at presentation. Neuroimaging revealed a heterogeneous mass within the third ventricle, obstructing the foramen of Monro. An endoscopic biopsy was performed to obtain diagnostic tissue, and a ventriculoperitoneal shunt was placed to manage hydrocephalus. Histopathological examination confirmed AT/RT. This rare case underscores the need to consider AT/RT in the differential diagnosis of intraventricular cystic-solid tumors in early childhood and offers insight into the diagnostic workup and surgical management of similar cases.
