A complex case of moyamoya disease mimicking vasculitis: diagnostic challenges and systemic complications in a young adult.

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
Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a rare, chronic cerebrovascular disorder that can mimic vasculitis, making diagnosis challenging. We present a 35-year-old Filipino woman with occipital headache, left-sided facial weakness, and transient left arm numbness. Initial CT was unremarkable, but MRI showed multifocal ischemic infarcts; MRA later revealed bilateral MCA and ACA occlusions with collateral vessels, confirming MMD. Laboratory testing was negative for inflammatory markers, and PET-CT excluded vasculitis. The patient received antiplatelet therapy and blood pressure control, but her course was complicated by myocardial infarction and acute kidney injury, precluding surgical intervention. This case underscores the importance of early advanced imaging and comprehensive evaluation in young patients with recurrent strokes to distinguish MMD from vasculitis, enabling timely and appropriate management.
