Predictors of Outcome in Children with Status Epilepticus during Resuscitation in Pediatric Emergency Department: A Retrospective Observational Study.
Article in Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesTo study the clinical profile and predictors of outcome in children with status epilepticus (SE) during resuscitation in pediatric emergency department. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis retrospective study was carried out in a tertiary care teaching hospital. Admission and resuscitation data of children, aged between 1 month and 12 years, treated for SE, between September 2013 and August 2014, were extracted using a standard data collection form. Our SE management protocol had employed a modified pediatric assessment triangle to recognize and treat acute respiratory failure, cardiovascular dysfunction (CD), and subtle SE until all parameters resolved. Continuous positive airway pressure, fluid boluses based on shock etiology, inotropes, and cardiac safe anticonvulsants were the other modifications. Risk factors predicting mortality during resuscitation were analyzed using univariate and penalized logistic regression.
resultsAmong 610 who were enrolled, 582 (95.4%) survived and 28 (4.6%) succumbed. Grunt odds ratio (OR): 3.747 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.035-13.560), retractions OR: 2.429 (95% CI: 1.036-5.698), rales OR: 10.145 (95% CI: 4.027-25.560), prolonged capillary refill time OR: 3.352 (95% CI: 1.339-8.388), and shock requiring >60 mL/kg fluids OR: 2.439 (95% CI 1.040-5.721) were associated with 2-3 times rise in mortality. Inappropriate prehospital treatment and CD were the significant predictors of mortality OR: 7.82 (95% CI 2.10-29.06) and 738.71 (95% CI: 97.11-999), respectively. Resolution of CD was associated with improved survival OR: 0.02 (95% CI: 0.003-0.17).
conclusionAppropriate prehospital management and treatment protocol targeting resolution of CD during resuscitation could reduce mortality in children with SE.
