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

Neurofibromatosis type 1 is a widely known phakomatosis with highly variable manifestations. However, its presentation with hemicerebral atrophy resulting from an intracranial vasculopathy is uncommon, yet it poses a major health threat. We hereby report the case of a 6-year-old boy with the clinical features of Neurofibromatosis type 1 and imaging evidence of right internal carotid artery narrowing, with subsequent ipsilateral hemicerebral atrophy, after presenting with progressive left-sided body weakness and epilepsy. This case represents a rare manifestation within the vast imaging spectrum of Neurofibromatosis type 1, highlighting how unpredictable the condition can be.
