The "White Cerebellum Sign", a Striking Computed Tomography Scan Finding in a Critically Ill Infant: A Case Report.
Article in International medical case reports journal, 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
The "white cerebellum sign" is a striking neuroradiological finding, resulting from diffuse hypodense brain lesions in both cerebral hemispheres while sparing the cerebellum. This indicates widespread ischemic damage or expanded cerebral edema associated with the loss of white-gray matter differentiation. It is commonly reported in pediatric cases with severe neurological conditions, usually resulting in a poor prognosis. We present a case of a three-month-old female infant who was managed for confirmed acute bacterial meningitis complicated by status epilepticus, where the Computed tomography scan (CT scan) showed the "white cerebellum sign" in relation to diffuse cerebral hypoxic-ischemic lesions. However, the patient had a favorable outcome following treatment. This case underscores the importance of early recognition in cases presenting with the "white cerebellum sign". It highlights the potential for a positive prognosis even in severe neurological conditions when appropriate interventions are promptly administered.
