Dyke-Davidoff-Masson Syndrome in Pediatrics: Case Report of Atypical Status Epilepticus and Therapeutic Challenges in the Caribbean.
Article in Case reports in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome (DDMS), also known as cerebral hemiatrophy, is characterized by brain damage resulting in hypoplasia of one cerebral hemisphere. It is described as a rare disorder, primarily characterized by epileptic seizures and convulsions, as well as hemiparesis and cognitive impairments. We present the evolution of a child with DDMS and the neurodevelopmental milestones achieved from the onset of symptoms at 10 days of age to 3 years. Clinical features included persistent seizures and hemiparesis. Neuroimaging revealed right cerebral hemiatrophy with associated structural changes. The aim of this study is to present a case report of a pediatric patient with DDMS, detailing the clinical evaluation, therapeutic approaches, and disease progression, while describing the healthcare process and challenges associated with managing this rare condition in the Dominican Republic. Through this, we aim to improve the therapeutic strategies implemented in the region for the management of this infrequent condition and enhance the understanding of DDMS in the Caribbean.
