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

backgroundTuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) and primary lymphedema (PLE) are both rare diseases, and it is even rarer for both to occur in the same patient. In this work, we have provided a detailed description of a patient's clinical presentation, imaging findings, and treatment. And a retrospective analysis was conducted on 14 published relevant case reports. CASE SUMMARY: A 16-year-old male came to our hospital for treatment due to right lower limb swelling. This swelling is already present from birth. The patient's memory had been progressively declining. Seizures had occurred 1 year prior at an unknown frequency. The patient was diagnosed with TSC combined with PLE through multimodal imaging examination: Computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and lymphoscintigraphy. The patient underwent liposuction. The swelling of the patient's right lower limb significantly improved after surgery. Epilepsy did not occur.after taking antiepileptic drugs and sirolimus.

conclusionTSC with PLE is a rare and systemic disease. Imaging can detect lesions of this disease, which are important for diagnosis and treatment.
