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
introductionThe aim of this study was to explore the differences in status epilepticus (SE) management among pediatric neurology, emergency medicine, and intensive care specialists in Turkey.
methodsA 22-item questionnaire regarding first-, second-, and third-line management strategies of SE including demographic characteristics and common etiologies according to the specialty of participants was mailed to 370 specialists working in Turkey.
resultsA total of 334 participants (response rate 90%) comprising 136 pediatric neurologists, 102 pediatric emergency medicine specialists, and 96 pediatric intensive care specialists completed the survey. While intensive care specialists frequently managed SE due to metabolic and autoimmune reasons, the most common etiologies encountered by emergency medicine specialists were epilepsy and infections. More than half of the intensive care specialists (64.6%) reported using non-BZD antiseizure medications in the 5th minute of the seizure. Most of the neurologists (76.4%) preferred to administer intravenous (IV) levetiracetam infusion as a second-line agent. About half of intensive care specialists and neurologists tried immunomodulatory therapies in super-refractory SE. Intensive care and emergency medicine specialists were less likely to favor ketogenic diet and pyridoxine therapy for the treatment of super-refractory SE. The rate of requesting EEG monitoring to recognize nonconvulsive SE (NCSE) was found to be very low except for neurologists.
conclusionThere was no consensus among neurologists, intensive care specialists, and emergency medicine specialists in the management of SE in Turkey. Familiarity with particular antiseizure medications and the etiologies they manage seem to be the most important factors influencing the attitudes.
