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

Sotos syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by childhood overgrowth, including tall stature and macrocephaly, distinctive facial appearance, and neuropsychiatric manifestations. These features include intellectual disability and a broad spectrum of behavioral disturbances. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is also known to cause various neuropsychiatric symptoms, including behavioral disturbances, even in individuals without underlying medical conditions. However, the influence of pre-existing neurodevelopmental disorders such as Sotos syndrome on behavioral outcomes following TBI remains incompletely understood. We report the case of a 35-year-old man with previously undiagnosed Sotos syndrome who developed severe behavioral disturbances following TBI. Based on his history of childhood overgrowth and characteristic dysmorphic facial features, Sotos syndrome was suspected and subsequently confirmed by genetic testing, which demonstrated a heterozygous whole-gene deletion of the causative gene,
