In one paragraph

Review in Neuropediatrics, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02325505 (Clinical Profile Characterization of Patients With Tuberous Sclerosis Complex, Lymphangioleiomyomatosis and Angiomyolipoma Followed at Hospital Das Clínicas, University of Sao Paulo Medical School), which is not on this map. Cited by 61 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an important cause of epilepsy and autism, as well as renal and pulmonary disease in adults and children. Affected individuals are subject to hamartomas in various organ systems which result from constitutive activation of the protein kinase mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin). The clinical course, prognosis and appropriate therapy for TSC patients are often different from that for individuals with epilepsy, renal tumors, or interstitial lung disease, from other causes. Additionally, TSC serves as a model for other conditions in which the mTOR pathways are also up-regulated. This article reviews the molecular pathophysiology and management of neurological, renal and pulmonary manifestations of the disorder. The use of mTOR inhibitors such as rapamycin and everolimus is discussed and recent clinical trials of these drugs in TSC are reviewed.
