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

Sturge-Weber syndrome is a rare congenital neurocutaneous syndrome with an incidence of 1 in 50000 characterised by facial capillary malformation and vascular anomalies in the brain and eye. We present the case of a five-year-old child diagnosed with Sturge-Weber syndrome. The patient exhibited high-grade fever, headaches, and generalized tonic-clonic seizures. The history revealed a port-wine stain on the face and a history of seizures from the age of four months. Diagnostic imaging confirmed the presence of leptomeningeal vascular malformation, calcification in the brain, and abnormal electroencephalogram patterns, establishing the diagnosis of Sturge-Weber syndrome. Treatment with antiepileptic drugs led to seizure control. This case underscores the importance of early diagnosis and tailored treatment strategies for patients with Sturge-Weber syndrome. Keywords: brain; case reports; port-wine stain; seizures; Sturge-Weber syndrome.
