Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome: Imaging diagnosis in an asymptomatic adult.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome (DDMS) was first described in 1933 as a cerebral condition of hemispheric atrophy characterized clinically by contralateral hemiparesis, facial-asymmetry, seizures, and mental retardation. Neuroimaging findings include asymmetric thickening of the calvarium and enlargement of frontal and ethmoid sinuses. There have been 21 reported cases described in the literature with the syndrome undiagnosed until adult age, likely due to less severe or absent clinical findings or symptoms as described in the case presented in this report. This article describes a case where the Dyke-Davidoff-Masson imaging features were identified as an incidental finding on a CT scan of the brain performed for non-seizure related symptoms. A 54-year-old woman presented with weakness and gait difficulty and only upon further evaluation was she found to have cranial deformities. CT and MRI demonstrate encephalomalacia in the right frontal lobe anteriorly with gliosis and moderate unilateral cerebral atrophy, and extensive hypertrophy of the right frontal calvarium, right ethmoid cells and frontal sinuses.
