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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundIn general clinical practice, neonatal seizures are identified visually by direct clinical observation. The study aimed to examine the frequency of clinical seizures in paroxysmal events in a neonatal intensive care unit.

methodsWe conducted a prospective study of continuous video-EEG monitoring in a neonatal intensive care unit between January 2017 and December 2020. The demographic data were also reviewed.

resultsSixty-four neonates were enrolled. The median total video-EEG monitoring duration was 24.1 h (IQR 17.5-44.8 h). There were 309 clinically suspected seizure episodes, of which 181 (58.6%) were the motor type and 128 (41.4%) were the non-motor type. Only 63 (20.4%) of these events were confirmed to be clinical seizures on a simultaneous video-EEG recording. In terms of the impact of continuous video-EEG monitoring on clinical management, the anti-epileptic drugs were changed in 42 (65.6%) of the 64 neonates.

conclusionIn the identification of neonatal seizures, a clinical diagnosis by direct observation alone is not enough. The use of continuous video-EEG monitoring plays an important role in the diagnosis of neonatal seizures and in guiding clinical management decisions.
