Oromucosal midazolam: a guide to its use in paediatric patients with prolonged acute convulsive seizures.
Article in CNS drugs, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Oromucosal midazolam (Buccolam™), a benzodiazepine, is approved in the EU for the treatment of paediatric patients (aged 3 months to <18 years) with acute, prolonged, convulsive seizures. In clinical trials in children with prolonged, acute, convulsive seizures, oromucosal midazolam was at least as effective as rectal diazepam and as effective as intravenous diazepam in the treatment of seizures and was generally well tolerated. It has several advantages over rectal diazepam, the previous gold standard of treatment, such as having a more convenient and socially acceptable administration route.
