Combined extracranial and intracranial dermoid cyst: A case report and review of the literature.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 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
Background: Dermoid cysts (DCs) are rare congenital intracranial tumors. Among these tumors, extracranial and intracranial combined localization is extremely rare. Case Description: We present the case of a 49-year-old female patient with no prior medical history, diagnosed with an extradural and intradural extra-axial DC in the left temporo-parietal region, which manifested with signs of increased intracranial pressure. Cerebral magnetic resonance imaging showed an extra-axial lesional process with a cystic signal in the left temporo-parietal region. Surgical resection was successfully performed through a wide left temporo-parietal craniotomy. Histopathological findings were consistent with a DC. The postoperative recovery was uneventful, with improvement of increased intracranial pressure symptoms. Conclusion: A rare case of combined extra- and intracranial DC of extradural and intradural localization in the temporoparietal region was reported. The tumor was completely removed by wide craniotomy. DCs can occur anywhere in the intracranial and extracranial space. Although they are benign tumors, serious complications can arise if they are not treated promptly and appropriately. Total radical resection is the best solution.
