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

Enlarged parietal foramina (PFM) are congenital calvarial defects characterized by bilateral parietal bone defects (>5 mm), occurring on each side of the sagittal suture along its posterior aspect. While often lacking underlying intracranial malformations, there has been increasing recognition of coexisting brain malformations in certain subtypes. We present a case of a 12-year-old girl presenting with new-onset grand mal seizure with developmental delay and a known family history of epilepsy. Brain MRI revealed large, bilateral parietal bone defects with underlying cortical malformation (polymicrogyria and ulegyria) and vascular abnormalities (persistent falcine sinus), related to PFM. This case report describes the genetic basis for recognized subtypes of PFM and the rare association of brain malformations associated with PFM due to mutations in the ALX4 homeobox gene.
