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
Epilepsy poses a public health problem in Senegal. The purpose of the study was to describe the clinical and paramedical features of epilepsy in children at the Ziguinchor Peace Hospital (ZPH). We conducted a literature review of the medical records of children with epilepsy, from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2018. Patients aged < 15 years followed up for epilepsy at the ZPH were included. Incomplete medical records were excluded. Data from fifty-five (37 boys and 18 girls) children were collected; 70.9% of them were ≤5 years of age. Mean age of patients was 4.3 years. Patients were from rural (60%) and disadvantaged families (67.3%). Seizures were generalized (72.7%) and focal (27.3%). Eighteen patients had idiopathic epilepsy, 17 had non-idiopathic epilepsy. Etiological factors were dominated by abnormalities associated with pregnancy and childbirth (29.1%). Epilepsy is common at the ZPH. It is most common in rural areas among boys under the age of 5 years from disadvantaged families. Generalized tonic-clonic and focal seizures are the most frequent clinical state and abnormalities associated with pregnancy and childbirth are the most commonly found etiologies.
