Early Developmental Intervention and Enriched Environment in CDKL5 Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathy: 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
Objectives: CDKL5 developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (CDKL5-DEE) is a rare X-linked dominant genetic disorder. Family-centered Early Intervention (EI) programs, which promote axonal plasticity and synaptic reorganization through exposure to an enriched environment, should be integrated into clinical practice. However, there is presently a dearth of dedicated EI protocols for patients with CDKL5-DEE and cerebral visual impairment (CVI). Methods: We present a girl with a deletion of the CDKL5 gene (MIM*300203). At the age of 2 months, the child presented with severe epilepsy. The neurologic examination was abnormal, and she had severe CVI. At the first assessment, at 5 months old, her Developmental Quotient (DQ) on the Griffiths Mental Developmental Scales III (GMDS-III) was equivalent to 3-month-old skills (95% CI). The child was enrolled in an EI program for 6 months. Results: At 12 months of age, the DQ score was 91. There has been improvement in the neurovisual functions. The findings from the scales show a gradual improvement in neuromotor and psychomotor development, which is in contrast to the expected outcome of the disease. Discussion: The case study shows that a family-centered EI and prompt assessment of CVI can promote and enhance neurodevelopment.
