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

Background: Chiari I malformation (CM1) and syringomyelia can present a wide spectrum of symptoms and signs in children, often varying with age. However, the association of CM1 with dermatographia and alopecia is exceedingly rare and, to our knowledge, has not been previously reported in the pediatric population. Case Description: We present the case of a 7-year-old boy who exhibited an unusual constellation of findings, including Horner's syndrome, dermatographia, and patchy alopecia. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed CM1 with holocord syringomyelia. Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of considering CM1 in the differential diagnosis of pediatric patients with unexplained dermatological and neurological findings. Early diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach are crucial to achieving favorable outcomes.
