Unusual Facial Movements (Ictal Blinking, Oculogyric Crises, and Jaw Seizure) in Severe Liver Disease: A Case Series.
Article in Journal of clinical and experimental hepatology. 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
Background: Seizures are reported in about one-third of patients with severe liver disease in association with acute or chronic liver failure. The majority of the seizures are of focal type. Occasionally generalized tonic-clonic seizures are seen when there is ethanol withdrawal. Not much is known about ictal blinking (IB) in severe liver disease. IB is the rare form of seizures and was reported in severe liver disease recently from this institute. Oculogyric crisis (OGC) is rarely reported in relation to the severe liver disease. OGC was also noted first time in our intensive care unit. Methods: At the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences (ILBS), data on patients with IB and OGC were analyzed from October 2018 to January 2023 (52 months). All the patients had video electroencephalograph (video-EEG) recording after proper permission/consent. The patients were followed up later for the course of the illness. Results: A total of 16 (12M:4F) patients were seen. Majority 12 (75%) were IB and 3 OGC. EEG was abnormal in nine (75.0%) of IB patients. Brain imaging had nonspecific findings. The outcome was based on the severity and recovery of the underlying liver disease. Conclusions: Unusual facial movements in the form of IB and OGC are reported, which are most of the time missed. This report highlights the importance of recognition of these events and proper in time management to improve the outcome.
