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

Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a fatal condition associated with extreme underweight and undernutrition. It is more common in young females, with a female-to-male ratio of 10 : 1. Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is characterized by dysplasia of the cerebral cortex and is a common cause of pharmacoresistant epilepsy. However, FCD associated with AN has never been reported. We report the first case of AN in a 12-year-old male diagnosed with FCD-type 2 on head magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). He became concerned about lower abdominal distention and began reducing his food intake. He was admitted to our hospital after weight loss of 10 kg in a 1 year. Head MRI showed a localized high-signal area from the cortex to the white matter of the fusiform gyrus near the left hippocampus, with no associated decreased blood flow or electroencephalography (EEG) abnormalities. These findings were characteristic of FCD type II. In males with AN, the search for underlying disease is particularly important. The pathophysiology of the association between AN and FCD is unclear. However, both conditions are reportedly associated with autism spectrum disorder. Further cases are needed to clarify whether FCD is associated with eating disorders.
