Point-of-care electroencephalography enables rapid evaluation and management of non-convulsive seizures and status epilepticus in the emergency department.

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
Objectives: To describe our institutional experience with point-of-care electroencephalography (pocEEG) and its impact on the evaluation/management of suspected non-convulsive seizures in the emergency department (ED). Methods: We retrospectively identified 157 adults who underwent pocEEG monitoring in our community hospital ED in 1 year. We calculated the time to obtain pocEEG in the ED (door-to-EEG time) and examined the impact of pocEEG findings (categorized as seizure, highly epileptiform patterns, slowing, or normal activity) on antiseizure medication treatment. Results: PocEEG revealed seizures (14%, Conclusion: Our study, the largest to date describing the real-world use of pocEEG in emergency medicine, found that rapid EEG acquisition in the ED was feasible in a community hospital and significantly affected the management of suspected non-convulsive seizures.
