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
Hemispherotomy in infants under the age of 3 months is considered a high-risk procedure and is not routinely performed. A 2.5-month-old female infant weighing 5.1 kg successfully underwent a right vertical hemispherotomy after developing status epilepticus due to a right hemispheric Sturge-Weber meningo-angiomatosis. The surgical technique involved skull fixation at the skull base using kid pins to facilitate image-guided surgery with neuronavigation and augmented reality within the eyepiece of the microscope employing the vertical hemispherotomy technique. The surgical course was uneventful, with moderate blood loss (100 mL of red blood cells, 90 mL of fresh frozen plasma, and 150 mg of tranexamic acid transfused). The surgery duration was within 2 h. Postoperatively, seizures ceased immediately, and the infant experienced rapid developmental and neurological progress, remaining seizure-free for 8 months after surgery (Engel 1a) now.
