Infantile Spasms, Clinical Manifestations of a Rare Brain Tumor: A Case Report and Literature Review.

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
Desmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma (DIG) has a favorable prognosis and is classified as a benign infantile brain tumor. The DIG is more common in children under 2 years of age than in other age groups. This report introduces a 5.5 month-old infant who was referred with infantile spasms and diagnosed with a brain tumor. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed a large heterogeneous mass in the right hemisphere with shifting to the other side. The patient underwent surgery. The extra-axial mass was completely resected, and the diagnosis of DIG grade I was confirmed by pathology. After one year, patient development was normal, and the seizures did not recur. In addition, the general condition was good. With a brief review and search in the literature, 13 case reports were identified 9 of which were male cases. The mean age of initial manifestation to final tumor diagnosis was 4 months. Out of 13 patients, 8 cases were reported with the mass origin in the right hemisphere. The most commonly observed tumors were glioma (n=4) and hypothalamic hamartoma (n=3). Except for three patients who died, the remaining had a complete recovery after tumor removal with a seizure-free interval at follow-up.
