Managing childhood epilepsy in a resource-limited setting: A pragmatic approach.
Article in Sudanese journal of paediatrics, 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
Epilepsy is a complex neurological disorder. Its burden constitutes a major public health problem in resource-limited countries like Sudan. When it affects children, the challenges surrounding its diagnosis and management are enormous resulting in large numbers of patients missing out on adequate treatments. Epilepsy has the potential of not only adversely affecting the physical health of children but of also impacting negatively on their emotional, cognitive and social well-being. A pragmatic approach based on sound clinical skills of how to accurately diagnose epilepsy, as a priority, coupled with the choice of a cost-effective, wide spectrum and efficient anti-epileptic drug, is recommended.
