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

Choroid plexus cysts are typically benign lesions found within the ventricular system during prenatal imaging and are usually asymptomatic. Intraparenchymal choroid plexus cysts, especially in adults, are exceptionally rare, with very few reported cases. This case report aims to present a rare instance of a symptomatic, intraparenchymal choroid plexus cyst in an adult patient and to discuss the diagnostic and surgical considerations involved. We present the case of a 50-year-old man with complaints of lower extremity weakness and imbalance who was found to have a bilobulated cyst in the frontal cortex causing significant mass effect and midline shift. The patient underwent cyst fenestration through endoscope-assisted open craniotomy, with marked postoperative reduction in cyst size and resolution of neurological symptoms. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of a choroid plexus cyst. This case highlights the importance of considering rare pathologies such as choroid plexus cysts in the differential diagnosis of cystic brain lesions with mass effect in adults.
