ACTA2 leukovasculopathy: A rare pediatric white matter disorder.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
A 3-year-old girl presented with ataxia, dilated pupils, and behavioral change prompting work up for stroke. Her medical history included chronic mydriasis and patent ductus arteriosus requiring aortoplasty. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain demonstrated confluent white matter signal abnormality concerning for leukodystrophy. Magnetic resonance angiography revealed a cerebral vessel arteriopathy with a "broomstick appearance" and other neuroradiographic findings consistent with ACTA2 mutation. Pathogenic Arg179His ACTA2 mutation was confirmed in the patient. ACTA2-related leukovasculopathy should be considered during workup of patients with abnormal white matter (eg, leukodystrophies), childhood stroke, and arteriopathies. Recognizing the combination of commonly associated physical and medical conditions associated with radiographic features of this neurogenetic condition will prompt appropriate care and screening for comorbidities associated with this disorder.
