Non-convulsive status epilepticus and non-convulsive seizures in neurological ICU patients.
Observational study in Neurocritical care, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06723431 (Assessment of Pre Hospital Rescue Intervention for Seizure in Pediatric Patients), which is not on this map. Cited by 40 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.

Abstract
backgroundNon-convulsive seizures (NCS) or non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) has been reported in 8-20 % of critically ill patient populations, and delayed diagnosis and treatment of NCSE may lead to increased mortality. This study seeks to better understand the risk factors, characteristics, and outcome of NCS/NCSE in the neurological ICU.
methodsThis is a prospective observational study, recruiting consecutive patients admitted to the adult neurological ICU with altered mental status. Patients with anoxic brain injury were excluded from the study. Data were collected and analyzed for prevalence of NCSE/NCS, EEG patterns, associated risk factors, treatment response, and final outcome.
resultsNCSE/NCS was detected in 21 % of 170 subjects. Clinical seizures preceded EEG diagnosis of NCSE/NCS in 25 % of cases. Significant risk factors for NCSE/NCS were a past medical history of intracranial tumor, epilepsy, or meningitis/encephalitis, or MRI evidence of encephalomalacia. Subtle clinical findings such as twitching of oral or ocular muscles and eye deviations were found on exam in 50 % of the NCSE/NCS group. Mortality was increased in NCSE cases as 31 % of NCSE/NCS patients died compared to 14 % in non-NCSE/NCS group.
conclusionsSpecific clinical features along with history and imaging findings may be used to identify patients at high risk of NCSE/NCS in the neurological ICU.
