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

A 45-year-old man visited with suboccipital and posterior neck pain accompanied with blurred vision, dysarthria and paralytic feeling for 7 months. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed large eccentrically located cyst (6×4.8 cm) within posterior fossa which compressed right side cerebellar hemisphere and brainstem. The transparent cyst wall and fluid were removed by suboccipital craniectomy and the symptoms disappeared. Western blotting of the patient's cyst fluid reacted positively with the anti-cysticercus 150 kDa antibody and therefore the giant cyst was proved to be unusual giant neurocysticercus.
