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

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by widespread clinical manifestations. Early diagnosis is usually possible when typical TSC related skin lesions and neurologic presentations are detected in young patients. Undiagnosed TSC patients are at increased risk of morbidity and mortality as disease progression will inevitably lead to complications. While case reports of single complications in pediatric patients have been documented, to the best of our knowledge, multi-system complications of TSC in adults have yet to be reported in the literature. We present a case of tuberous sclerosis diagnosed in adulthood with complications involving the central nervous, renal and respiratory systems. This case highlights the need for a multidisciplinary approach in the management of TSC as well as the role of imaging in both diagnosis and intervention.
