Hospital admissions for seizure in Italy: a decennial retrospective analysis with a special focus on the burden in the pediatric age.
Article in Neurological sciences : official journal of the Italian Neurological Society and of the Italian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The aim of the study was to analyze the incidence of hospitalizations for different types of convulsions in Italy during the years 2001-2010, especially in the pediatric age, with a focus on febrile seizures. National hospital discharge records of admissions for any type of convulsion from 2001 to 2010 were analyzed. The incidence rates were calculated considering the pediatric resident population estimated by the Italian Institute of Statistics in the studied years. 675,189 Hospital discharge records were analyzed, 256,126 of which had at least one specific diagnosis code for convulsion. 77 % of seizures were concentrated in the age group 0-3 years (618/100,000 inhabitants). The admission regimen was mainly ordinary (92 %). 97.6 % of admissions were <7 days and 91 % of hospital discharges were ordinary discharges to home. The percentage distribution of seizures showed a constant trend over the considered period. The code "febrile seizures" represented 71.9 % of all seizures in the pediatric population. 94.5 % was concentrated in children aged 0-5 years. The obtained data could be useful to put into the right perspective issues arising from the reports of febrile seizures following the administration of pediatric vaccines.
