MECP2 Gene-Related Severe Neonatal Encephalopathy: A Rare Case in a Female Neonate.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Neonatal encephalopathy is a common morbidity witnessed by neonatologists globally. Though hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is the most common cause of neonatal encephalopathy, the absence of a specific history of hypoxia-ischemia necessitates knowledge about other diseases causing encephalopathy among neonates. These include a plethora of central nervous system, neuromuscular, vascular, metabolic, and genetic disorders. We describe a rare case of neonatal encephalopathy caused by a Methyl CpG binding protein 2 (MECP2) gene mutation in a female neonate. MECP2 mutations mostly lead to classical or variant Rett syndrome in females with a later presentation, while neonatal encephalopathy is almost exclusively reported in males. The case highlights the need for genetic testing for non-HIE causes of neonatal encephalopathy to attain the correct diagnosis.
