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

Periventricular focal nodular heterotopia is a rare secondary cerebral distortion caused by the interruption of neuronal migration from the periventricular germinal zone to the cortex during the fetal period. Clinically, it may manifest as epilepsy resistant to pharmacological treatments or rarely as mental retardation. We report a case of a six years-old male child who was subject to the intensive care unit for the management of refractory epilepsy. The diagnosis was done by magnetic resonance imaging of the brain, which revealed a nodular periventricular heterotopia of the gray matter. After the management of the status of epilepticus, the child remained spastic, aphasic with no contact with his environment.
