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, sporadic, progressive neurocutaneous condition that presents with congenital hamartomatous malformations, epilepsy, and a variety of facial symptoms. We discussed a rare case of an eighteen-year-old female child who came to our neurology department with status epilepticus, mental impairment, and a port-wine in the lateral left side of her face. We diagnosed Sturge-Weber syndrome after a thorough neurological and radiological evaluation. The purpose of presenting this case is to illustrate both the characteristic presentation and the complications associated with managing Sturge-Weber syndrome.
