Mega Cisterna Magna: Current Perspectives and Future Directions-A Literature Review.
Review in Radiology research and practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The posterior fossa anomaly known as mega cisterna magna (MCM) is defined as an enlarged cisterna magna that is more than 10 mm in the anteroposterior dimension, without concomitant vermian or cerebellar malformations. Although this condition is usually discovered incidentally during prenatal or neuroimaging examinations, its clinical significance and long-term effects are still being studied and discussed. The prognosis and treatment of MCM depend on its differentiation from other posterior fossa malformations, including Blake's pouch cyst, Dandy-Walker variant, and arachnoid cysts. In addition to exploring debates surrounding MCM and potential clinical applications, this review attempts to summarize the state of knowledge currently available on the anatomical, embryological, clinical, and radiological aspects.
