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

backgroundThis study aimed to investigate the association between nutritional characteristics in patients with refractory convulsive status epilepticus.

methodsWe retrospectively enrolled 73 patients with refractory convulsive status epilepticus over 18 years of age at the West China Hospital between January 2017 and May 2019. All patients met the 2016 International League Against Epilepsy diagnostic criteria for refractory convulsive status epilepticus. A logistic regression model was used to evaluate the association between malnutrition and refractory convulsive status epilepticus.

resultsOf the 73 patients with refractory convulsive status epilepticus, 33 (45.21 %) suffered from malnutrition during hospitalization, and duration of hospitalization in days (OR = 1.251; 95 % CI,-1.067-1.384; P = 0.007), nasal feeding (OR = 22.623; 95 % CI: 1.091-286.899; P = 0.013), and malnutrition on admission (OR = 30.760; 95 % CI: 1.064-89.797; P = 0.046) were significantly associated with malnutrition in patients with refractory convulsive status epilepticus.

conclusionsMalnutrition is a common complication during hospitalization in patients with refractory convulsive status epilepticus. The duration of hospitalization (days), nasal feeding, and malnutrition at admission are associated with malnutrition in patients with refractory convulsive status epilepticus. Further longitudinal studies are needed to identify the relationship between refractory convulsive status epilepticus and adverse outcomes.
