Evaluation of Patients Presenting With First Febrile Seizure.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Introduction Febrile seizure (FS) is the most common cause of convulsion in children. In the present study, we evaluated patients presenting with FS. Methods Eighty-two patients aged between 6-60 months who presented to Mersin City Training and Research Hospital with the first febrile seizure between January 2020 and May 2021 were included in the study. Results Of the 82 patients included in our study, 42 (51,2%) were male and 40 were female (48,8%). Their average age at presentation of first febrile seizure was 21,05 ± 16,22 months. Fever focus was found in 32 patients (39,1%) with upper respiratory tract infection. Epileptic abnormality was observed in the EEG of six patients (7,3%) and antiepileptic medication was started in three of these patients. Conclusions Upper respiratory tract infection, family history of FS, and family history of epilepsy are the main risk factors for the development of FS. Complex FS is a serious risk factor for the development of epilepsy.
