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

backgroundPediatric epileptic encephalopathy and severe neurological disorders comprise a group of heterogenous diseases. We used whole-exome sequencing (WES) to identify genetic defects in pediatric patients.

methodsPatients with refractory seizures using ≥2 antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) receiving one AED and having neurodevelopmental regression or having severe neurological or neuromuscular disorders with unidentified causes were enrolled, of which 54 patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria, were enrolled, and underwent WES.

resultsGenetic diagnoses were confirmed in 24 patients. In the seizure group,

conclusionsWide genetic variation was identified for severe childhood seizures by WES. WES had a high yield, particularly in male infantile patients.
