Pediatric epilepsy: Five new things.
Article in Neurology. Clinical practice, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Epilepsy in children can be very different from epilepsy in adults, both in seizure type and epilepsy syndrome. The goal in treating children is seizure freedom, no treatment side effects, and function that is no different from the general population. In a significant percentage of patients, this goal remains unachievable, but many aspects of epilepsy are becoming clearer. This review will highlight 5 areas where progress is being made to achieve these goals in pediatric epilepsy. Specific research animal models are being developed to reflect the unique features of different pediatric epilepsies. As genetic syndromes are better identified, for some patients this has led to improved treatment. New advances in drug therapy have led to 3 new medications approved for children. More effective drug choices can now be recommended due to comparative drug trials and better overall care of children can be provided due to awareness of the comorbidities of epilepsy.
