Factors associated with poor discharge status in patients with status epilepticus at Khon Kaen Hospital.
Article in Neuropsychiatric disease and treatment, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundStatus epilepticus (SE) is a serious neurological condition and has high a mortality rate. Data on importance of factors associated with poor outcomes in Asian or Thai populations are limited.
methodsAdult patients diagnosed as SE at Khon Kaen Hospital, Thailand from October 1, 2010 to September 30, 2012 were enrolled. Patients were categorized as good or poor outcomes at discharge. Good outcomes were defined by improvement at discharge and absence of neurological deficits, while poor outcomes were defined by: not being improved at discharge; being discharged against advice; death; or presence of a neurological deficit. Clinical factors were compared between both groups.
resultsDuring the study period, there were 211 patients diagnosed as SE. Of those, 130 patients were male (61.61%). The mean age of all patients was 53.28 years. Acute stroke was the most common cause of SE in 33 patients (15.64%). At discharge, there were 91 patients (43.13%) who had poor outcomes. Only initial plasma glucose levels were significantly associated with poor outcomes with an adjusted odds ratio of 1.012 (95% confidence interval of 1.003 and 1.021).
conclusionInitial plasma glucose is associated with poor discharge status in patients with SE.
