Cervical diastematomyelia in a patient with Pierre-Robin syndrome - A case report.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 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
Background: Pierre-Robin syndrome (PRS) is a disorder characterized by mandibular hypoplasia, leading to upper airway obstruction and feeding difficulties due to backward displacement of the tongue (glossoptosis). Cervical diastematomyelia is another rare congenital condition in which the spinal cord splits into two hemicords at the level of the cervical spine. Case Description: We report a unique case of a 6-month-old boy who has cervical diastematomyelia and PRS. At birth, our patient had mandibular hypoplasia, respiratory distress, a posterior parietal region swelling, and reduced tone in all four limbs. On current examination, he now also has left-sided torticollis along with the findings mentioned at birth. Imaging demonstrated features consistent with an atretic parietal cephalocele, enlarged cerebellum in comparison with age-matched group, and short segment type II diastematomyelia in the proximal cervical spinal cord. Conclusion: In patients with these complex congenital anomalies, improving outcomes requires early detection and tailored management strategies.
