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

Tuberous sclerosis complex is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder that affects multiple organ systems, primarily affecting the central nervous system. It develops with a pathogenic mutation in tumour suppressor genes i.e. Tuberous Sclerosis Complex 1 or Tuberous Sclerosis Complex 2 which codes for protein hamartin and tuberin leading to unopposed hyperactivation of the mammalian target of the rapamycin signalling pathway. It presents with a triad of facial angiofibroma, intellectual disability, and epilepsy. We present a case of a 17-month female toddler with abnormal body movement with loss of consciousness and later developing into generalised jerky movements. On magnetic resonance imaging, a diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis was made. The patient underwent symptomatic management with anti-epileptic. As seizures in these cases are subtle, they remain undiagnosed for a long time leading to delays in management and developing refractory seizures. Keywords: angiofibroma; case reports; seizures; tuberous sclerosis; tumor suppressor gene.
