A Case Report of Dacrystic Seizures in the Psychiatric Emergency Services Department.
Article in Cureus, 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
Epileptiform syndromes are represented by a variety of clinical scenarios. In this context, dacrystic seizures (DS) are characterized by paroxysmal episodes of stereotyped crying and are considered a rare ictal phenomenon. Their neuroanatomical and pathophysiological findings tend to be nonspecific, and to date, there is no consensus on their treatment. Additionally, most of the existing case reports describe that the patients who suffer from them are usually refractory to conventional care. Also, most of the existing literature is approached from a neurological practice perspective; however, there's evidence of patients with these paroxysms that occasionally end up in the hands of psychiatric services due to the uniqueness of their symptoms. However, there is very little information about this phenomenon due to its rarity. For this reason, this manuscript presents the case of a middle-aged man with these seizures who initially attended a psychiatric emergency service and subsequently received neuropsychiatric management and follow-up.
