Cobblestone lissencephaly (Type II), clinical, and neuroimaging: A case report and literature review.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Cobblestone lissencephaly (C-LIS) (TYPE II) is a rare and severe neuronal migration disorder characterized by a smooth brain surface with overmigrated neurons and abnormal formation of cerebral convolutions or gyri during fetal development, resulting in a cobblestone appearance. C-LIS is associated with eye anomalies and muscular dystrophy. This case report presents a detailed clinical and neuroimaging analysis of a patient diagnosed with cobblestone lissencephaly (Type II). It reviews pertinent literature to enhance our understanding of this complex condition. We report a case of a 6-year-old female child with cobblestone lissencephaly (C-LIS) (Type II) severe developmental delays, hypotonia, and recurrent intractable seizures. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a characteristic cobblestone appearance on the brain surface, indicative of abnormal neuronal migration. In addition to the classic findings of Type II Cobblestone lissencephaly, the patient displayed ventriculomegaly and cerebellar hypoplasia, contributing to the overall neurological impairment observed. The literature review highlights the genetic basis of cobblestone lissencephaly, emphasizing the involvement of genes associated with glycosylation processes and basement membrane integrity. Neuroimaging findings, including MRI and computed tomography scans, are crucial for accurate diagnosis and prognostication. Early identification of cobblestone lissencephaly allows for appropriate counseling and management strategies. However, the prognosis remains guarded, and interventions primarily focus on supportive care and seizure management. This case report contributes to the knowledge of cobblestone lissencephaly, shedding light on the clinical spectrum and neuroimaging features associated with this rare disorder. To clarify the underlying genetic mechanisms and possible therapeutic pathways for better patient outcomes, more investigation is necessary.
