Curative Effect of Prebiotics/Probiotics-Assisted Ketogenic Diet on Children with Refractory Epilepsy.
Article in Emergency medicine international, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. 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
Objective: The aim is to study the curative effect of prebiotics/probiotics-assisted ketogenic diet (KD) on children with refractory epilepsy. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 80 children with refractory epilepsy treated in the hospital between December 2018 and December 2020. According to different treatment methods, they were divided into the KD group (36 cases, KD) and combination group (44 cases, prebiotics/probiotics assisted KD). All were followed up for 1 year. The curative effect, electroencephalogram findings, levels of neurotransmitters, quality of life scores, cognitive function (verbal intelligence quotient (VIQ), performance intelligence quotient (PIQ)), and incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Results: At the last follow-up, the effective rate of the combination group was higher than that of the KD group (95.45% Conclusion: The curative effect of prebiotics/probiotics-assisted KD is better on children with refractory epilepsy, which can effectively improve electroencephalogram and quality of life, increase neurotransmitters and cognitive levels, with good safety.
