Evaluation of patterns, cause and risk factors of burns in patients with seizure.
Article in International journal of burns and trauma, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundBurns following convulsion could be an important problem for patients with epilepsy. In the present study we aimed to identify the pattern and the cause of burns in these patients.
methodsThis is a cross-sectional study that was performed in 2017-2019 in Guilan on 40 patients with burns following seizure. The information in the records of patients were reviewed. We collected data including age, sex, marital status, occupation, place of residence, length of hospital stay, anatomy of the burn site, percentage of burn, degree of burns, cause of burns and disease outcome.
resultsThe mean age of the patients was 42.2±2.99 years. Seven cases (17.5%) had burns due to fire, 5 cases (12.5%) due to gas explosion, 3 cases (7.5%) due to electrocution, 15 cases (37.5%) with hot water, 1 case (2.5%) with hot liquids, 5 cases (12.5%) with hot surface, 1 case (2.5%) with hot bath, 2 cases (5%) with hot food and 1 case (2.5%) with hot glue. The mean burning percentage of patients was 19.3±3.18%. The most common patterns of burns were observed as 7 (17.5%) upper limbs and 7 (17.5%) lower limbs. The mean duration of hospitalization was 5.05±0.69 days ranging from 1 to 18 days. 37 patients (92.5%) recovered partially and 3 patients (7.5%) died.
conclusionHot water, fire and hot surface are most common causes of burns and there were significant direct correlations between age with percentage of burns and duration of hospitalization. We believe further studies should evaluate the preventive strategies in this regard.
