Transsellar trans-sphenoidal encephalocele with cleft lip, cleft palate and agenesis of corpus callosum.

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
Basal encephalocele is a rare congenital malformation. Among basal encephaloceles, the transsellar, trans-sphenoidal encephalocele is the least common subtype. We present the case of a newborn female, who presented to us with cleft lip and cleft palate. Diagnostic neuroimaging revealed the presence of transsellar trans-sphenoidal encephalocele along with agenesis of the corpus callosum. There are very few case reports of trans-sphenoidal encephalocele with corpus callosum agenesis in a patient with midline cleft lip and palate. In this report, we discuss the clinico-radiological findings of this extremely rare condition and present a brief review of the literature.
