Clinico-radiological approach to cerebral hemiatrophy.
Review in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
introductionCerebral hemiatrophy is an uncommon neuroimaging finding of diverse etiologies, conventionally classified into two broad categories: congenital and acquired. The authors propose an alternative pragmatic clinical approach to cerebral hemiatrophy, classifying its diverse etiologies into a single event insult such as an in utero stroke, or a progressive disorder from an inflammatory or neoplastic process, the latter of which needs urgent intervention and will be the focus of our review paper. Illustrative cases will also be presented to facilitate the understanding of the discussed disorders.
conclusionA systematic approach, linking both clinical and neuroimaging features, is important to facilitate the diagnostic workup of cerebral hemiatrophy. This may potentially help avoid large-scale investigations. Determining the underlying aetiology of cerebral hemiatrophy may impact treatment and prognostication as some conditions such as Rasmussen encephalitis and Parry-Romberg syndrome may benefit from timely implementation of immunomodulatory therapy.
