A Case of Previously Undiagnosed Sturge-Weber Syndrome in an African American Patient due to a Missed Port-Wine Stain.

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
Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a rare, congenital neurocutaneous disorder characterized by the triad of facial capillary malformations, ocular abnormalities, and leptomeningeal angiomatosis which can lead to neurological manifestations such as seizures, intellectual disability, and stroke-like episodes. This case report describes a 45-year-old African American female who presented with status epilepticus and stroke-like symptoms, ultimately diagnosed with SWS based on characteristic imaging findings, with an apparent previously missed port-wine stain. This case highlights the diagnostic and management challenges of SWS in adulthood, particularly in African American patients, where the characteristic cutaneous features may be less apparent. The patient's presentation with status epilepticus and acute infarct underscores the fluctuating or episodic neurologic nature of SWS and the need for prompt diagnosis and management.
