Microcephaly Resulting From Congenital Toxoplasmosis: What the Radiologist can Expect to See? A Case Report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Microcephaly is defined as an occipitofrontal head circumference two standard deviations (2SD) below average for age and sex, with severe microcephaly below three standard deviations (3SD). Congenital toxoplasmosis is one of the congenital infections that can potentially lead to microcephaly. It reflects neurotropism for fetal central nervous system (CNS) cells from toxoplasma, causing massive destruction of neural tissue, resulting in serious neurological damage. We present a case of severe microcephaly observed at birth in a newborn from an unmonitored pregnancy with an unknown maternal serological profile. The mother, aged 25 years, had no prior medical history. Imaging investigations revealed significant neurological lesions, while serological tests confirmed congenital toxoplasmosis. This case report illustrates the radiological semiology of neurological involvement in congenital toxoplasmosis and serves as a reference for radiologists, highlighting the importance of recognizing the radiological features of congenital toxoplasmosis.
