Cardiac rhabdomyomas and cerebral lesions in 4 pediatric patients with tuberous sclerosis.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Rhabdomyoma is the most common primary cardiac tumor in pediatric patients. A strong association exists between cardiac rhabdomyomas and tuberous sclerosis (TS), an autosomal dominant disease, characterized by diffuse lesions in the nervous system, such as cortical-subcortical tubers and subependymal nodules. In TS, cardiac rhabdomyomas typically are diagnosed in childhood, but they could be detected in the neonatal period with echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging and may precede cerebral lesions. Therefore, the precocious detection of cardiac rhabdomyomas in pediatric patients can suggest the diagnosis of TS and the early detection of cerebral lesions, improving the management of the related symptoms. We reported the cases of 4 pediatric patients, in which the detection of cardiac rhabdomyomas lead to the early discovery of cerebral lesions and the diagnosis of the TS.
