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

Corpus callosal agenesis (CCA) is a rare congenital disorder characterized by the partial or complete absence of the corpus callosum, a structure crucial for interhemispheric communication. CCA can occur in isolation or be associated with other anomalies such as heterotopia, holoprosencephaly, cerebellar hypoplasia, coloboma, and hydrocephalus. The prevalence of CCA ranges from 0.020% to 0.025%, though some reports suggest higher rates. This case report describes a 1-year-old male with developmental delays and no significant antenatal or family history. MRI revealed a complete absence of the corpus callosum, asymmetrically dilated lateral ventricles, subependymal gray matter nodules suggestive of gray matter heterotopia, and bilateral posterior globe defects with vitreous herniation, indicating severe ocular anomalies. The child received supportive care including physical therapy and special education services, with regular follow-ups for developmental and ophthalmologic evaluation. This case report details the rare occurrence of CCA, accompanied by gray matter heterotopia and bilateral posterior eye coloboma in a pediatric patient. The combination of these congenital anomalies presents unique diagnostic and management challenges requiring multidisciplinary care. We discuss the clinical presentation, radiological findings, and implications for supportive care and improving the prognosis.
