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

case reportThe 18q-syndrome is sometimes associated with epilepsy. We report a child with a 18q deletion who showed the typical manifestations of the syndrome. In addition, she had benign focal epilepsy with onset in infancy characterized by complex partial seizures with a frequency from 1 to 20 per day. This type of epilepsy is a rare condition and this is the first report of benign focal epilepsy with onset in infancy in a child with 18q-syndrome. The EEGs performed during sleep showed low-voltage spikes over the fronto-central region of the left hemisphere. The magnetic resonance imaging of the brain was normal.

conclusionIn conclusion, benign focal epilepsy with onset in infancy could be a condition associated with 18q-syndrome.
