Reversible Lesions of the Genu of the Corpus Callosum and White Matter Detected by MRI in a Neonate With Apnea: A Case Report.
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
In this report, we describe a 19-day-old female neonate who presented with recurrent apnea, poor feeding, and cyanosis. Brain diffusion-weighted MRI revealed hyperintense lesions in the genu of the corpus callosum and bilateral frontal white matter with corresponding low apparent diffusion coefficient values. Antibiotic therapy and supportive management were initiated, and the apnea resolved by hospital day 6. A follow-up brain MRI performed on day 49 demonstrated the complete resolution of the previously observed lesions. No neurological sequelae were observed up to 11 months of age. This case illustrates a rare presentation of neonatal-onset apnea associated with reversible lesions localized in the genu of the corpus callosum on MRI. Several differential diagnoses were considered, including mild encephalitis/encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion (MERS)-related conditions, viral encephalitis, postictal changes, and pre-Wallerian degeneration. When reversible corpus callosum lesions are observed in neonates, a variety of underlying pathophysiological processes should be considered in the differential diagnosis.
