DYKE-DAVIDOFF-MASSON SYNDROME-A Rare Cause of Cerebral Hemiatrophy in a 17-Years-Old Ethiopian Patient: A Case Report.
Article in Ethiopian journal of health sciences, 2019. 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
backgroundDyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome (DDMS) is a rare disease with unknown frequency, mainly presented with seizures, facial asymmetry, contralateral hemiparesis and mental retardation. Often, resulting from brain injury due to a multitude of causes, especially in early life, associated with birth asphyxia. Radiological findings include cerebral hemiatrophy/hypoplasia, calvarial thickening, and hyperpneumatization of the frontal sinuses. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 17-year-old male patient who presented to Neurology Clinic with complaints of left side body weakness, walking difficulty and poorly controlled seizure for the past 6 years. Brain MRI revealed atrophy of the right cerebral hemisphere.
conclusionDyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome should be suspected in any patients who present with classical features and brain imaging showing hemiatrophy. Early identification and treatment is important in such patients, as it can improve patients prognosis and quality of life.
