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

With the aim of understanding better the behaviour of an uncommon lesion such as the choroid plexus papilloma, we have analysed a surgical series of 33 cases operated on at the Neurosurgical Department, University of Rome "La Sapienza", between 1955 and 1992 and have reviewed the relevant literature. Our results support the view that a radical resection of these lesions, which if removed entirely, carry a very good prognosis. The hydrocephalus should be treated only if persistent. Adjuvant treatment such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy should be reserved for specific cases.
