Neurological diseases at the Pediatric Neurology Clinic in a semi-urban Nigerian tertiary hospital.
Article in Sudanese journal of paediatrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Neurological diseases in children may be associated with mortality and long-term morbidity when they recover from acute ailments. The pattern of neurological disorders in an outpatient service may highlight the burden of these diseases. The objective of the present study is to describe the pattern of neurological disorders at the Pediatric Neurology Clinic of Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital (OOUTH), Sagamu, Nigeria. A retrospective analysis of consecutive patients in a Pediatric Neurology Clinic of OOUTH, from 1st January 2011 till 31st December 2014, was carried out. A total of 4,476 patients attended the pediatric outpatient unit. Of these, 433 children had neurological disorders with a prevalence of 9.67%. The most frequent pediatric neurological disorders included seizure disorders (37.7%), cerebral palsy (37.7%), and central nervous system infections with complications (6.2%). The subjects with cerebral palsy were the youngest, while the subjects with seizures were the oldest. This study emphasizes that neurological disease contributes substantially to childhood morbidity in a semi-urban African tertiary hospital.
