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

From an epidemiological perspective, polymorphous low-grade neuroepithelial tumor (PLNTY) represents a small proportion of brain tumors encountered in epilepsy surgery series. Their rarity and relatively recent recognition likely contribute to underdiagnosis and poor prognosis. In terms of histopathological features, they are similar to oligodendrogliomas. Molecular analyses can be used to show the fusion between fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR3) and transforming acidic coiled coil (TACC) proteins, which most commonly results in progression towards glioblastoma (GBM). We report a case of a 62-year-old man who underwent left frontal craniotomy to remove a frontal mass. Histologically, the glial lesion consisted of elements associated with oligodendroglia-like features. Immunohistochemistry was positive for glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), oligodendrocyte transcription factor 2 (OLIG2), and α-thalassemia X-linked mental retardation syndrome (ATRX) nuclear expression, but negative for isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) and BRAF-V600E. Next-generation sequencing showed the
