Paediatric Moyamoya disease: acute presentation with fever and confusion in an 8-year-old: a case report.

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
Introduction and importance: Moyamoya is a chronic vaso-occlusive cerebrovascular disorder which involves internal carotid artery and its proximal branches, forming compensatory Moyamoya vessels. It may manifest with diverse symptoms, but early detection is crucial for a favourable prognosis. Case presentation: The authors present a case of an 8-year-old child who presented to the emergency with acute onset fever and confusion in speech. Although the symptoms were vague, she was advised for a thorough investigation. MRI of the brain revealed an infarct on the brain that raised suspicion of a vaso-occlussive disorder. Subsequent magnetic resonance angiography and digital subtraction angiography revealed underlying Moyamoya disease. Clinical discussion: Although the initial diagnosis of Moyamoya disease can be challenging, prompt diagnosis and simple medical measures like single antiplatelet regimens are useful for secondary ischaemic prevention. Conclusion: This case highlights the essence of considering Moyamoya disease as one of the differentials while dealing with children presenting with subtle cerebrovascular symptoms.
