Seizure Management in the Intensive Care Unit.
Review in Current treatment options in neurology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purpose of this reviewThis review presents current therapy for seizures in the intensive care unit. The reader is provided with recent evidence regarding the use of EEG in determining treatment for acute seizures. Proposed treatment approaches for seizures and status epilepticus are provided. Controversies and complexity of selecting treatments are discussed. RECENT
findingsCritical Care EEG Monitoring Research Consortium analyzed the association of periodic and rhythmic electroencephalographic patterns with seizures and found that lateralized and generalized periodic discharges and lateralized rhythmic delta were associated with increased seizure risk. Applications using modified EEG techniques have demonstrated more rapid feedback to the ICU than was previously possible. SUMMARY: Accurate diagnosis and efficient treatment of seizures in the ICU is challenging due to patient factors, complexities of antiepileptic drug therapy, and the required expertise for EEG interpretation. Selection of optimally effective therapy for seizures or status epilepticus depends on multiple factors, making collaboration between neurophysiologists and the ICU team of paramount importance.
