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

Ectopic colloid cysts are rare, benign, congenital lesions derived from the endoderm. They are most commonly located in the anterior portion of the third ventricle but can occasionally arise in the sellar/suprasellar region [1, 7, 12]. We report a pediatric patient with an ectopic colloid cyst presenting with short stature and central diabetes insipidus-a location not previously documented in children. Endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal resection achieved subtotal removal with preservation of the pituitary stalk, and the patient remained symptom-free at 21-month follow-up.
