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

Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome (DDMS), is a rare neurological disorder commonly diagnosed in childhood which is characterized by cerebral hemiatrophy, leading to seizures, hemiparesis, and varying degrees of cognitive deficits. This case report describes the case of a 45-year-old lady who presented with loss of consciousness and generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Despite a history of gait abnormality and right upper limb motor deficit since childhood, the diagnosis of DDMS was not established until this acute event in adulthood, and the patient exhibited no apparent gross cognitive deficits. This delayed presentation, following years of subtle neurological signs, expands the recognized clinical spectrum of this rare condition.
