An Ambispective Cohort Study to Assess Seizure Recurrences in Children with Calcified Parenchymal Neurocysticercosis.
Article in The American journal of tropical medicine and hygiene, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Calcified neurocysticercosis (NCC), previously thought to be a dead end, is an important risk factor for seizure recurrences. We studied the pattern of seizure recurrences and associated radiological findings in children with calcified NCC. In this ambispective cohort study, we enrolled children (age 1-15 years) with calcified NCC attending the pediatric NCC clinic between January 2017 and December 2017. Retrospective data were collected from the hospital records, and all enrolled children were prospectively followed up till June 2018. The study group divided into two groups: 1) children first presenting with calcified granuloma and 2) children presented with ring-enhancing lesion (REL) and transformed into the calcified lesion during follow-up imaging. During the study period (January 2017-December 2017), 520 children with NCC were screened and 128 with calcified NCC were enrolled. The mean age was 10.8 ± 3.2 years, and 63% were boys. Among 128 children, 40 (31%) had calcified granuloma and 88 (69%) had REL transformed to calcified granuloma. Sixty-one (49%) children had seizure recurrence: 22 (58%) within calcified granuloma group and 39 (45%) within REL transformed to calcified granuloma group (
