Rapid ictal transition of focal epilepsy to infantile spasms in neurofibromatosis type 1 captured with EEG.
Article in Epilepsy & behavior reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
We report a novel case of an infant with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) who presented with new onset presumed focal impaired awareness seizures with motor onset followed by rapid progression to infantile spasms (IS). Electroencephalography (EEG) captured evolution from focal epileptiform discharges to multifocal and generalized discharges, then to hypsarrhythmia over three days. Development of IS within days of focal seizure onset is rapid, and to our knowledge, has not been demonstrated electrographically. The pattern of rapid ictal transition to hypsarrhythmia is essential for neurologists to be able to recognize as it can help lead to early treatment, which is necessary for improved outcomes in IS.
