Metabolic changes in mTOR pathway-associated cortical malformation.
Review in Frontiers in neuroscience, 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
Malformations of cortical development (MCD) are a common cause of epilepsy, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and intellectual disability (ID). A unifying mechanistic etiology for epilepsy, ASD, and ID has not been found due, in part, to the heterogeneity of MCD subtypes. However, changes in brain metabolism within MCD have emerged as a possible convergent mechanism across MCD that may have therapeutic potential. While there have been efforts to comprehensively describe known metabolic changes in other neurodevelopmental disorders, no such effort exists for MCD associated with mTOR pathway gene mutations (the most common cause of MCD; mTORopathies'). In this review, we detail finding related to mTORopathies that relate to dysfunctional brain metabolism including abnormal changes in macromolecule processing and mitochondrial metabolism. Further, we discuss cellular and molecular metabolic processes that may serve as key pathways in the development of MCD
