Acute Truncal Ataxia After a Minor Head Trauma Revealing a Pediatric Cerebellar Pilocytic Astrocytoma.
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
Pilocytic astrocytomas are low‑grade benign pediatric brain tumors that most commonly arise in the cerebellum and typically present with symptoms related to impaired coordination or increased intracranial pressure. We report the case of a three‑year‑old girl with no prior neurologic history who presented to the emergency department (ED) after a fall from a trampoline. Neurologic examination was notable for right‑sided truncal ataxia without additional focal weakness or sensory deficits. Non‑contrast computed tomography (CT) of the head demonstrated a hypodense lesion in the left cerebellum with trace hyperdensity. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a 3.5‑cm left cerebellar mass consistent with a pilocytic astrocytoma. The patient underwent surgical resection with no residual tumor on postoperative imaging and complete resolution of truncal ataxia symptoms on follow‑up.
