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

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a neurocutaneous disorder characterized by multiple tumors originating from the embryonic ectoderm, commonly affecting the brain, kidneys, and heart. We report the case of a 59-year-old woman with a lifelong history of epilepsy and cognitive decline, who was diagnosed with TSC and fibrous dysplasia (FD) after presenting with headache, dizziness, and balance disturbances. Imaging studies revealed a subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA) and craniofacial FD, leading to ventriculoperitoneal shunting and tumor resection. This case highlights the rare coexistence of TSC and FD, suggesting the need to consider FD as a potential skeletal manifestation of TSC, especially in atypical presentations or late diagnoses.
