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
aimTo evaluate the efficacy of anti-seizure medications (ASMs), quinidine, and ketogenic diet therapy (KDT) for
methodsWe collected the data for
resultsThe ERs for the 30 patients at our hospital were 40, 26.7, 30, and 44.4% for all treatments, ASMs, quinidine, and KDT, respectively. For all patients (ours and those in previous reports), the overall ERs for quinidine and KDT were 26.0 and 43.5%, respectively (
interpretationKDT may be better at treating
