Literature review of leukoencephalopathy with calcifications and cysts and a case report.
Article in Frontiers in neuroscience, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objective: To explore the clinical features and treatment approaches for leukoencephalopathy with calcifications and cysts (LCC). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed a 22-year-old male patient with genetically confirmed LCC admitted to Qingdao University Affiliated Hospital in April 2019. The patient's clinical presentation, imaging characteristics, treatment course, and outcomes were summarized alongside a comprehensive literature review. Results: The patient underwent resection of bilateral frontal lobe cysts followed later by resection of a parietal lobe cyst. Postoperative pathology confirmed LCC with calcification and cystic changes. No severe postoperative complications occurred. Follow-up imaging demonstrated gradual cyst regression and symptom resolution. Genetic testing identified heterozygous SNORD118 variants (n.3C>T and n.74G>A). Conclusion: Surgical resection is an effective treatment for LCC cysts causing significant mass effect or neurological deficits, requiring regular follow-up. For smaller, asymptomatic cysts without mass effect, treatment with VEGF inhibitors (e.g., bevacizumab) may be beneficial. Management should be individualized.
