Coexistence of Endodermal Cyst and Neurofibromatosis Type 1: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Endodermal cysts (ECs) are rare benign cystic lesions of the central nervous system. Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a genetic disorder associated with neural tumors, but co-occurrence with EC is exceedingly uncommon. We report the case of a 29-year-old male with NF1, characterized by café-au-lait spots and a family history, who presented with headache and left upper limb deficits following minor head trauma. Imaging revealed a posterior fossa tumor. Due to progressive neurological decline, the mass was surgically resected. Intraoperative findings showed a yellowish-white, jelly-like accumulation. Pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of EC, which was characterized by a wall lined with ciliated epithelium, but lacking skin appendages in the cyst wall. This case suggests that ECs should be included in the differential diagnosis of extra-axial tumors in the posterior fossa. Given the rarity of ECs, a potential association with NF1 is suspected in this case, although the causal relationship remains unclear.
