Severe Gastroparesis Leading to Hypoglycemia and Subsequent Seizures.
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
Gastroparesis is a known complication in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). This disorder has been known to make glycemic control difficult due to diabetic autonomic neuropathy, resulting in an increase in hypoglycemic episodes. On occasion, gastroparesis may be so severe that prokinetic medications and gastric pacemakers are not sufficient to control the symptoms, in which case some patients need to supplement their diet through a jejunal tube (J-tube) to bypass the stomach. Severe or long-lasting hypoglycemia may rarely be associated with epileptic seizures. We present a case of a 47-year-old female with a history significant for type 1 DM complicated by gastroparesis requiring a gastric pacemaker and J-tube placement who presented to the emergency department after having a witnessed seizure. Her glucose at that time was 27 mg/dl (normal 70-110 mg/dl) and she was treated appropriately with dextrose 25% solution and her glucose recovered to 110 mg/dl. Subsequently, seizure activity ceased.
