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

Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS), also called encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis, is a congenital neurocutaneous disorder. It is characterized by facial and leptomeningeal angiomas as well as neurologic symptoms such as seizures and learning disabilities. We report a case of a 31-year-old male patient who presented with a history consistent with focal seizures. He was found to have a cutaneous angioma (port-wine stain) in the left temporoparietal region. CT brain revealed characteristic curvilinear calcification in the left tempoparietal cortex. The lack of tonic-clonic seizures and the pattern of his port-wine stain may have possibly delayed the diagnosis well into adulthood.
