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

Intracranial tumors frequently produce neuro-ophthalmic signs that can be critical in refining diagnosis and guiding management, particularly for sellar and suprasellar lesions. We report the case of a 12-year-old boy with a suprasellar mass initially presumed to be a craniopharyngioma based on imaging. However, after a comprehensive neuro-ophthalmologic examination was entirely normal, a biopsy was done proving the mass to be a pilocytic astrocytoma with pilomyxoid features. We aim here to illustrate the diagnostic value of a neuro-ophthalmologic examination in the evaluation of suprasellar tumors.
