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

A case of tuberous sclerosis (TSC) caused by a previously unreported mutation, with epilepsy responding well to phenytoin (PHT) and multilocular benign tumors regressing with everolimus, has not been documented before, to the best of our knowledge. The patient is a 24-year-old female who was diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) at the age of seven due to epilepsy and the presence of multiple hamartomas, including angiofibromas, angiomyolipomas, lymphangioleiomyomas, rhabdomyomas, and astrocytomas, throughout her body. She also has a history of developmental delay, mild cognitive impairment, adjustment disorder, claustrophobia, recurrent depressive episodes, anxiety disorder, and autism spectrum disorder. Genetic testing confirmed a deletion of exons 4-8 in the
