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

Here, we present an unusual case of chondromesenchymal hamartoma limited to the skull base without sinonasal involvement. A 19-year-old man presented with a two-month history of diplopia and right abducens palsy. Imaging revealed a clival mass extending into the right cavernous sinus with central and peripheral calcifications, marked T2 hyperintensity, no restricted diffusion, and a heterogeneous and predominantly peripheral enhancement. Endoscopic endonasal resection was performed, and histopathological examination confirmed a chondromesenchymal hamartoma. The imaging features of chondromesenchymal hamartomas are similar to those of chondrosarcomas, making differentiation difficult. Although germline or somatic DICER1 testing was not performed in our case, the detection of DICER1 gene mutations may help establish a diagnosis.
