Progressive Disordered Movements in an Infant Leads to Rare Diagnosis.
Article in Clinical practice and cases in emergency medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Desmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma (DIG) is a supratentorial superficially-located cystic neuroepithelial tumor. It is an exceedingly rare tumor with an incidence of <0.1% of central nervous tumors; approximately 60 cases have been reported in the literature. We present a case of a three-month-old infant with progressive disordered movements described as intermittent upper body stiffening with associated eye blinking, drooling, and change in level of alertness. A seizure was witnessed in the emergency department, after which the child was sent for imaging studies. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a large solid and cystic mass in the temporal region measuring 8.6cm × 7.9cm × 5.1cm. The infant underwent complete surgical resection, and post-surgical pathology revealed a diagnosis of DIG. The patient had an excellent post-operative course in the months following discharge. At his last well-child visit, no neurological deficits were appreciated and the infant was meeting expected milestones for his age.
