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

Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by a localized absence of skin, most often affecting the scalp. Although often isolated and with a favorable prognosis, it can be associated with other anomalies, including central nervous system malformations. Cortical dysplasia represents a group of disorders caused by abnormal neuronal migration and organization and is a known risk factor for epilepsy. We report the case of a 10-month-old infant with an occipital ACC lesion present since birth. The infant underwent neuroimaging, which revealed a focal area of cortical dysplasia in the right fronto-opercular/insular region. This case highlights the importance of recognizing associated anomalies in patients with ACC and long-term follow-up in the presence of coexisting neuroimaging abnormalities.
