Spinal Muscular Atrophy and Communicating Hydrocephalus: A Novel or a Well-Established Rare Association?
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a genetic progressive neuromuscular disease characterized by loss of motor neurons, which is linked to mutation of the survival motor neuron-1 gene. Saudi Arabia has a higher than the worldwide prevalence of the disease, estimated to be 4.42/100,000 cases. Association of spinal muscular atrophy with tetraventricular hydrocephalus secondary to Blake's pouch cyst have rarely been reported. Herein, we report a rare case of genetically confirmed type I spinal muscular atrophy accompanied by communicating hydrocephalus with atypical Blake's pouch cyst. Further studies are needed to confirm the exact genetic correlation.
