Moyamoya Disease and Steno-Occlusive Disease in a Young Stroke Patient: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Moyamoya disease is a rare cerebrovascular disorder characterized by progressive stenosis and occlusion of the intracranial arteries, resulting in the formation of collateral vessels. We present a case of a 24-year-old South Asian female with no prior medical history who presented with persistent headaches, right-hand numbness and pain, and global aphasia. Imaging revealed severe steno-occlusive disease involving the left internal carotid artery terminus, the proximal middle cerebral artery (MCA), and the anterior cerebral artery. The patient underwent a hemicraniectomy due to malignant MCA syndrome and was prescribed aspirin and fluoxetine. Further evaluation with a cerebral angiogram revealed severe steno-occlusive disease involving the left internal carotid artery terminus, the proximal middle cerebral artery, and the anterior cerebral artery. The patient had Moyamoya disease. This case emphasizes the necessity of including Moyamoya disease in the differential diagnosis, as it can result in serious neurological impairments.
