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.

Abstract

objectivesthe aim of this study was to determine the impact of cardiac injury on clinical profile, cardiac evaluation and outcome in patients hospitalized with convulsive status epilepticus (CSE). MATERIALS AND

methodsthis prospective observational study included 74 children with CSE. Cardiac injury was evaluated and defined using combination of cardiac troponin, electrocardiography (ECG) and echocardiography. Clinical outcome and mortality rates were compared in patients with and without cardiac injury.

resultsA total of 74 patients with CSE were included in the study. Thirty-six (48.6%) patients demonstrated markers of cardiac injury. ECG changes occurred in 45.9% and echocardiographic signs of left ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction reported in 5.4% and 8.1%, respectively. The mean length of hospital stays and need for ICU admission were significantly higher in patients with cardiac injury compared to others. One third of patients with cardiac injury needed mechanical ventilation and this was significantly higher than patients without (

conclusionMarkers of cardiac injury were common and associated with poor clinical outcome and higher risk of mortality in patients with CSE, so extensive routine cardiovascular evaluation is essential in these patients.
