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

The Duke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome (DDMS) is a rare neurological condition with unknown prevalence, globally. To date, <100 cases have been reported worldwide. We report the case of an 18-year-old patient admitted for status epilepticus seizure, and who presented a right hemiparesis, body asymmetry, joints ankylosis, and mental retardation. Brain CT-scan revealed left hemisphere atrophy, skull bone thickening, and hyperpneumatization of the frontal sinuses; all consistent with DDMS. Seizures improved remarkably on Levetiracetam and Valproate. This is the first report of an unusual DDMS in Mali, and the diagnosis delay highlights the challenges for the management of these diseases in resource-limited settings.
