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

Moyamoya disease (MMD) is an arteriopathy causing pediatric ischemic stroke and is characterized by progressive stenosis of the intracranial internal carotid arteries. Although genetic risk factors have been identified, the pathogenesis of MMD remains incompletely understood, and significant gaps persist in linking genetic variation to disease mechanisms and outcomes. We describe ex-30 week monozygotic twins presenting with recurrent ischemic events beginning in infancy found to have bilateral terminal internal carotid artery stenosis consistent with MMD. Two rounds of clinical genetic testing were performed, revealing a novel de novo missense variant in
