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

Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a rare, idiopathic, and life-threatening cerebrovascular disorder characterized by progressive stenosis and occlusion of the intracranial internal carotid arteries, leading to the formation of abnormal collateral vessels. The incidence of MMD is high in Asian countries but has also been reported in other regions with lower prevalence. Clinically, the disease can manifest with ischemic, hemorrhagic, or epileptic symptoms. Psychiatric manifestations are atypical and may be mistaken for primary psychiatric disorders, necessitating a specialized approach to management. We report a rare clinical case of a patient who was admitted with isolated catatonia and was diagnosed with MMD through neuroimaging. We discuss the possible mechanisms underlying this association, radiological findings, and strategies for managing such an uncommon presentation.
