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

Many common household herbal preparations may have seizurogenic ingredients. We report 15 children with seizures following exposure to such compounds: oral ingestion of liquid preparation in 13, and local application of balm and Eucalyptus oil ingestion in one each. All children, except one, had generalized seizures. This study highlights the need to address this history during evaluation of first seizure, and increase awareness of seizurogenic potential of such preparations.
