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

Diffuse gliomas with gliomatosis cerebri (GC) growth pattern are rare infiltrative tumors whose radiological presentation frequently mimics non-neoplastic white matter diseases. Strictly bilateral and symmetric involvement represents an exceptionally rare presentation, powerfully evoking leukodystrophy or metabolic leukoencephalopathy and constituting a major diagnostic pitfall. We report a 46-year-old woman with a 7-month history of progressive cognitive decline, dysarthria, and spastic paraparesis. CT demonstrated a hypodense corpus callosum lesion without enhancement. MRI revealed diffuse bilateral and remarkably symmetric T2/FLAIR white matter hyperintensities extending through the corpus callosum without gadolinium enhancement. Diffusion-weighted imaging showed focal restricted diffusion at lesion margins and within the splenium. MR spectroscopy demonstrated elevated choline (Cho/Cr ≈2), decreased
