Neuroectodermal Diseases: A Comparative Case Report Study.
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
Neuroectodermal disease involves abnormalities that arise from the ectodermal origin, such as the nervous system, eyeball, retina, and skin. Due to the rarity of the disease, it is often underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed. In this study, the researcher presents two cases of pediatric patients with no fetomaternal complications who presented with focal seizures as their initial complaint. During the examination, varying skin color pigmentation and an abnormal neurophysical examination were observed. Cranial imaging showed hemimegalencephaly and voltage asymmetry on EEG. Skin biopsy was performed on both cases, which revealed basketweave orthokeratosis. The combination of a triad of intractable epilepsy, developmental delay, and cutaneous lesion prompted the consideration of a neuroectodermal disease. The study shows two cases of hypomelanosis of Ito and nevus syndrome, both of which may be due to mTOR and RAS pathways, respectively.
