Perinatal adversities and risk of epilepsy after traumatic brain injury: A Danish nationwide cohort study.
Article in Acta neurologica Scandinavica, 2022. 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
objectivesTraumatic brain injury (TBI) and perinatal adversities such as low gestational age at birth, low birth weight, low Apgar, and being born small for gestational age are well-established risk factors for epilepsy. We examined whether perinatal adversities modified the risk of epilepsy after TBI in a nationwide cohort study of Danish singletons born from 1982 to 2011. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe categorized perinatal adversities as a composite measure of preterm delivery, low birth weight, low Apgar score, or being born small for gestational age. Cox regression and competing risk regression were used to estimate the risk of epilepsy after TBI according to such perinatal adversities. The study included 1,715,095 singletons (51.1% males). The mean age at end of follow-up was 19.3 years (Interquartile range [IQR] = 12.1-26.3). During follow-up, 85,636 persons (58.2% males) sustained a TBI and 18,064 developed epilepsy (50.7% males), of whom 1329 persons had a preceding TBI.
resultsThe hazard ratio (HR) of epilepsy in persons with perinatal adversities was 1.19 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.15-1.24), compared to persons without. The HR of epilepsy in persons with TBI was 2.31 (95% CI 2.18-2.45) compared to persons without TBI, but this risk was not modified by perinatal adversities (p = 0.2460).
conclusionsPerinatal adversities and TBI both increased the risk of epilepsy, but the risk of epilepsy after TBI was not modified by these perinatal adversities.
