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

Colloid cysts are rare, benign intracranial lesions typically arising from the anterosuperior third ventricle. Although commonly diagnosed in adults, their occurrence in pediatric patients is uncommon and may follow a more aggressive clinical course, occasionally resulting in acute deterioration or sudden death. The association between colloid cysts and genetic syndromes remains poorly understood. We report the case of a nine-year-old girl with facio-audio-symphalangism syndrome in whom a third ventricular colloid cyst was incidentally discovered during routine surveillance imaging. The patient was neurologically stable and asymptomatic with no clinical features of raised intracranial pressure. Neuroimaging revealed a well-circumscribed lesion at the foramen of Monro with imaging characteristics consistent with a colloid cyst measuring 1.2 × 1.0 × 0.8 cm and mild ventricular enlargement. Genetic testing demonstrated a heterozygous mutation in the
