Multimodal Management of Febrile Infection-Related Epilepsy Syndrome in a 17-Year-Old Male.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
New-onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE) is a clinical presentation, not a specific diagnosis, in which healthy people are suddenly struck by prolonged seizures that do not respond to at least two anti-seizure drugs and do not have a clear structural, toxic, or metabolic cause.Febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES) is considered a sub-category of NORSE. Our patient is a 17-year-old male admitted to the pediatric ward after a self-limited convulsive episode at home, noted to occur following five days of upper respiratory infection symptoms accompanied by fever. After multiple generalized tonic-clonic seizures necessitating treatment, he went into status epilepticus despite multiple antiepileptic drugs. The possibility of FIRES had been considered from the onset of refractory status epilepticus; as a result, an intensive multimodal treatment regimen was proactively implemented with some clinical improvement.
