1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesFebrile seizure is the most common seizure disorder in childhood. Anemia or failure to thrive can predispose children to febrile seizure by affecting the nervous system function. The current study investigated the association between febrile seizures and anemia or failure to thrive. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis case-control study was performed on 307 children 6 months to 6 yr old age hospitalized at the Ali Asghar Children`s Hospital, Tehran, Iran from 2011 to 2014 divided into two groups as follows: A case group including 158 children with febrile seizures and a control group including 149 febrile children without seizure. The amount of Hgb, Hct, RBC count, MCV, MCH, and MCHC was recorded and weight-for-age and weight-for-height was calculated based on the WHO Z-Score charts. The data were compared between two groups.

resultsThere were no differences regarding age and sex between the groups. Statistically significant differences were found regarding the mean RBC count between the case group (4.38×10

conclusionIn children with febrile seizures, anemia was lower comparing with febrile children without seizure. Moreover, there was not any association between failure to thrive and febrile seizures.
