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

Giant congenital melanocytic nevus (GCMN) is associated with neurocutaneous melanocytosis and various other neurological complications. Its association with migrational anomalies of the brain is extremely rare. Herein, we document the first case of GCMN in a one-day-old baby associated with localized hemimegalencephaly (HME) of the brain with extensive malformation of cortical development including polymicrogyria, pachygyria and sublobar dysplasia, limited to an enlarged quadrant of the brain. HME and GCMN are considered embryological anomalies of cell migration and proliferation. We discuss the unusual magnetic resonance imaging findings along with a brief review of the literature. To the best of our knowledge, our case is the first to report the association of GCMN with localized HME.
