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

We report a case of atypical central neurocytoma with anaplastic histological features in the lateral ventricle of a previously healthy 37-year-old man. Histologically, the tumor exhibited anaplastic cell morphology, necrosis, increased mitotic activity, and vascular proliferation. The tumor had copy number alterations, but methylation profiling did not provide a match to any known methylation class, and mutation analyses were negative for pathogenic alterations. Atypical central neurocytoma is a challenging and rare diagnosis, and the World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Tumors has not yet clarified diagnostic criteria for this putative entity. In a literature review, however, atypical central neurocytoma showed increased aggressiveness compared to conventional central neurocytoma, WHO grade 2.
