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

abstractMegalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (MLC) is a rare leukodystrophy marked by early-onset macrocephaly, delayed milestones and progressive motor decline. It shows characteristic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, including diffuse white matter changes and subcortical cysts, especially in the anterior temporal lobes. We report a case of a 10-month-old female from a nonconsanguineous Agarwal family in North India, presenting with macrocephaly and developmental delay. MRI revealed classic features of MLC. The case highlights the importance of early diagnosis even in nonconsanguineous families within genetically predisposed communities.
