Epilepsy in childhood and adolescence.
Article in Deutsches Arzteblatt international, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
introductionMore than 3% of the total population will suffer from epilepsy at some time during their lives. One quarter of newly diagnosed cases worldwide are children. With optimal treatment, around 70% will enter remission. In the long run, antiepileptic drugs can be discontinued in almost half of affected individuals. Most patients with epilepsy undergo normal cognitive development. This relatively good prognosis contrasts with persistent public stigma surrounding the condition.
methodsselective literature review.
resultsA classification of epileptic seizures and epileptic syndromes is provided by the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE). Epilepsies are mainly split into symptomatic forms (i.e. those with a recognizable cause) and idiopathic forms, which result from a genetic predisposition and imply no other pathology aside from epilepsy. The classification of epilepsy syndromes is based on assumed etiology, and seizure symptomatology. Drug therapy is usually started after a second unprovoked seizure. The best possible seizure control, continuation of a successful school career, and preservation of a stable family situation are equally important therapeutic aims.
