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

Aicardi syndrome (AIC) is a congenital condition involving characteristic neurological and ocular abnormalities. We describe a 30-year-old pregnant woman referred at 32 weeks of gestation after an ultrasound at 29 weeks showed corpus callosum agenesis, an interhemispheric arachnoid cyst, and colpocephaly. These findings raised prenatal suspicion of AIC. Postnatal evaluation confirmed the diagnosis with the identification of chorioretinal lacunae on fundoscopic examination. In this case, the prenatal imaging findings were key to recognizing a pattern suggestive of AIC, while postnatal assessment provided the definitive confirmation. This report highlights the role of detailed fetal neuroimaging in raising suspicion of AIC during pregnancy and underscores the importance of coordinated postnatal evaluation and multidisciplinary counseling.
