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

The study examined the relationship between psychopathology, seizure-related variables, and quality of life in children with epilepsy. Seventy-nine children with active epilepsy (Mean = 10.1 y, SD = 2.68) were consecutively recruited from the outpatient services of an advanced pediatric hospital. The Quality-of-Life in Childhood Epilepsy questionnaire and the Childhood Psychopathology Measurement Schedule (CPMS) were administered to the parents. The most compromised health-related quality of life (HRQOL) domain was the general health domain (Mean = 61.70, SD = 26.81). The mean intelligence quotient (IQ) score was 81.59 (SD = 12.34) and only 20% had IQs in the normal average range. The mean CPMS score was 7.41 (SD = 5.41). The psychopathology score and the IQ explained 43% of the variance in the total HRQOL score (F = 28.67, P = 0.0001) in the regression analysis. Childhood epilepsy is a significant public health concern and a multidisciplinary approach to management would help in addressing the multiple needs of the children with epilepsy and their families.
