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 aim of this study was to determine the type, etiology and the rates of epilepsy and to identify accompanying cognitive and behavioral problems in patients with epileptiform abnormalities in the posterior cerebral localization.
methodsIn this study, 3500 patients with at least one EEG record at the EEG Laboratory of Clinical Child Neurology Department of Cerrahpaşa Medical Faculty of Istanbul University were evaluated in 2014-2015. Three hundred forty-six patients were included in the study.
resultsOf the 346 patients included in the study, 42.4% were female and 57.5% were male. The age range of the cases was 1-21 (mean: 8.7) years. Epileptiform activities were observed in post TPO region isolatedly in 58,95% (n = 204), post-TPO epileptiform focus with focal epileptiform focus in different localizations in 31.21% (n = 108), generalized epileptiform activity with more than one epileptiform focus in 9.8% (n= 34). In the period of EEG examinations 250 (72.25%) patients had a history of epileptic seizures and / or epilepsy, while 96 (27.74%) had non-epileptic clinical conditions such as behavioral disorder and autism.
conclusionIn the EEG recordings we examined, sharp and spike wave activities were frequently observed in the post TPO region isolatedly. We believe that this study, which investigated the relationship between focal epilptiform activity in post TPO region and different clinical conditions, will serve as an example for other studies.
