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

Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by a predisposition to multiple tumors, including central nervous system (CNS) hemangioblastomas, retinal hemangioblastomas and renal cell carcinoma. The present report details the case of a 39-year-old male patient presenting with progressive dizziness and left-sided visual deterioration, whose neuroimaging results revealed multifocal hypervascular lesions in the suprasellar region, left cerebellar hemisphere and spinal cord. Following resection of the cerebellar lesion, histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of hemangioblastoma, and the overall pattern of multifocal CNS involvement supported a clinical diagnosis of VHL disease. This case highlighted a rare suprasellar manifestation of VHL disease and the diagnostic challenges posed by atypical multifocal CNS presentations.
