1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Seizures are not common in cases with chronic liver disease. Overall seizures have been reported in 20-30% of cases in chronic liver disease associated with hepatic encephalopathy. We report two cases of chronic liver disease patients who presented with new-onset refractory focal status epilepticus (SE). Both patients had encephalitis and seizures which responded only when acyclovir was added to the treatment with antiepileptic medication. Herpes encephalitis should be considered as a possible diagnosis in new-onset focal seizures or focal SE in patients with chronic liver disease with or without hepatic encephalopathy, pending further investigations.
