Validating Coding for the Identification of Pediatric Treatment Resistant Epilepsy Patients.
Article in Child neurology open. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) system includes sub codes to indicate that an individual with epilepsy is treatment resistant. These codes would be a valuable tool to identify individuals for quality improvement and population health, as well as for recruitment into clinical trials. However, the accuracy of these codes is unclear. We performed a single center cross sectional study to understand the accuracy of ICD codes for treatment resistant epilepsy. We identified 344 individuals, roughly half with treatment resistant epilepsy The ICD code had a sensitivity of 90% (147 of 164) and specificity of 86% (155 of 180). The miscoding of children with refractory epilepsy was attributed to the following reasons: 5 patients had epilepsy surgery, 4 had absence epilepsy, 4 patients were seen by different providers, and 1 patient was most recently seen in movement disorders clinic. ICD codes accurately identify children with treatment resistant epilepsy.
