Spontaneous regression of a large lateral ventricle cyst: illustrative case.
Article in Journal of neurosurgery. Case lessons, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundColloid cysts (CCs) are rare benign lesions, typically found in the third ventricle. While most CCs remain asymptomatic, they can occasionally cause significant symptoms such as headaches, visual disturbances, seizures, and, in rare cases, sudden death. OBSERVATIONS: This article reports a rare case of spontaneous regression of a CC located in the lateral ventricle. After remaining stable for more than 4 years, the cyst underwent spontaneous regression. LESSONS: This case challenges existing ideas regarding the origin and regression mechanisms of CCs. It demonstrates that lateral ventricle CCs can spontaneously regress, highlighting the need to reconsider their embryological origin, their natural history, and the role of surgery. However, the diagnosis of CC has been solely radiological, and other forms of tumor-like cystic lesions, such as neuroepithelial or ependymal cysts, should be taken into consideration. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25319.
