The Curious Case of Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome: Treatment-Resistant Seizures in a Patient With Autism Spectrum Disease With Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) is a childhood epilepsy disorder seen between the ages of one to eight years with the electroencephalogram (EEG) changes showing slow spiked-wave complex bursts or paroxysms of generalized fast activity and intellectual disability and often needing multiple lines of treatment. Autism spectrum disease (ASD) is rare but catastrophic comorbidity seen in a patient with LGS. We report an eight-year-old boy presenting to the emergency department with seizures and mental retardation. His first seizure was at the age of five months but was symptomatically treated without any specific diagnosis. On further investigation, the patient was diagnosed with LGS with concomitant ASD. The patient has successfully been treated for his treatment-resistant seizures and is now on regular follow-ups. This article aims to highlight this rare combination of LGS along with ASD and understand the disease course.
