Febrile Seizures in Children: A Review.
Review in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Fever-induced seizures are referred to as febrile seizures (FSs). The most prevalent kind of epilepsy and neurological illness in infants and young children is FS. With a high occurrence seen between the ages of 12 and 18 months, they frequently affect children aged six months to five years. FS is a benign condition that seldom results in brain damage. Nevertheless, they cause stress and emotional anguish for the parents, who may believe that the death of their child is going to occur during the seizure. Lately, a more broad-based phrase has been used, fever-associated seizures or epilepsy that includes simple, complicated, and extended FSs. These are the three different kinds of FSs. Febrile status epilepticus is a subgroup of complex FS. The other kinds of FSs are FS plus, Dravet syndrome, hereditary epilepsy with FS plus, and febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome. The most frequent, brief, and generalized simple FSs have a greater likelihood of causing temporal lobe epilepsy than complex FSs. These seizures are linked to the release of inflammatory mediators like interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor, which are well-known fever inducers. This article details the factors that contribute to the occurrence of FSs, epidemiology, pathophysiology, evaluation, and management of the child.
