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

Purely intraventricular craniopharyngiomas are uncommon, and their complete removal through a neuroendoscopic transventricular approach has only occasionally been described. We report the case of a 38 years-old-female presenting with headache and papilledema. Brain MRI revealed a mass located in the left foramen of Monro extending into the third ventricle, without suprasellar involvement. A neuroendoscopic transventricular approach was used for excision. Histopathology confirmed papillary craniopharyngioma. The patient recovered without significant neurological deficits. This case supports the feasibility of complete endoscopic removal of selected intraventricular craniopharyngiomas.
