A Case Report on Dyke-Davidoff-Masson Syndrome: A Rare Cause of Hemiparesis.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
Infantile hemiparesis resulting from Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome (DDMS) is an uncommon condition, especially in patients with no positive natal history. The age of presentation is dependent on when the neurologic insult occurred, and distinctive alterations may not appear until puberty. The left hemisphere and the male gender are more frequently involved. Common findings that can be seen are seizures, hemiparesis, mental retardation, and facial changes. Characteristic MRI findings are dilation of the lateral ventricles, hemiatrophy of the cerebrum, frontal sinus hyperpneumatization, and compensatory hypertrophy of the skull. Here, we report a 17-year-old female patient who reported physiotherapy treatment after the attack of epilepsy, with the complaint of inability to use the right hand for functional activities and gait deviations. Patient examination revealed typical chronic hemiparesis of the right side with mild cognitive affection. Brain investigation confirms the diagnosis of DDMS.
