Successful treatment of non-convulsive status epilepticus diagnosed using bedside monitoring by a combination of amplitude-integrated and two-channel simplified electroencephalography.

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
Case: A 66-year-old man developed disturbed consciousness and right hemiparesis with transient convulsions in the right arm. Bedside monitoring using a combination of amplitude-integrated electroencephalography and two-channel simplified electroencephalography revealed intermittent episodes of 1-3 Hz δ waves lasting for approximately 5 min, consistent with non-convulsive status epilepticus. Fosphenytoin (22.5 mg/kg/day) and levetiracetam (1,000 mg) prevented right arm convulsions but did not restore consciousness. The two-channel simplified electroencephalography also showed an intermittent periodic δ wave pattern in the Fp1-C3 channel. Conventional electroencephalography revealed a polymorphic δ activity that was abolished by 2.5 mg diazepam, thus confirming the diagnosis of non-convulsive status epilepticus. Outcome: The patient recovered completely with the antiepileptic drug combination. Conclusion: Immediate initiation of bedside monitoring using amplitude-integrated electroencephalography and two-channel simplified electroencephalography allows early detection of non-convulsive status epilepticus in patients with disturbed consciousness, which considerably improves the prognosis.
