Disparities in Pediatric Epilepsy Remission Are Associated With Race and Ethnicity.
Article in Journal of child neurology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
objectiveThe purpose of our study was to assess whether race/ethnicity was associated with seizure remission in pediatric epilepsy.
methodsThis was a retrospective population-based cohort study of children who were evaluated for new-onset epilepsy in the clinic, emergency department, and/or hospital by a pediatric neurologist in an integrated health care delivery system. Children were between ages 6 months and 15 years at their initial presentation of epilepsy. The cohort, identified through an electronic database, was assembled over 6 years, with no less than 5 years of follow-up. All children were evaluated for race, ethnicity, insurance type, and socioeconomic background. Patient outcome was determined at the conclusion of the study period and categorized according to their epilepsy control as either drug resistant (pharmacoresistant and intractable) or drug responsive (controlled, probable remission, and terminal remission).
resultsIn the final cohort of 776 patients, 63% were drug responsive (control or seizure remission). After controlling for confounding socioeconomic and demographic factors, children of Hispanic ethnicity experienced reduced likelihood (hazard) of drug-responsive epilepsy (hazard ratio 0.6, SIGNIFICANCE: We found that Hispanic ethnicity is associated with a reduced likelihood of achieving seizure control and remission. This study suggests that factors associated with the race/ethnicity of patients contributes to their likelihood of achieving seizure freedom.
