Adrenocorticotropic hormone combined with magnesium sulfate therapy for infantile epileptic spasms syndrome: a real-world study.
Article in World journal of pediatrics : WJP, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundInfantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) is a serious disease in infants, and it usually evolves to other epilepsy types or syndromes, especially refractory or super-refractory focal epilepsies. Although adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is one of the first-line and effective treatment plans for IESS, it has serious side effects and is not sufficiently effective.
methodsA retrospective study of the clinical outcomes of ACTH combined with magnesium sulfate (MgSO
resultsWe initially recruited 1205 IESS patients from two Chinese hospitals and treated them with ACTH combined with MgSO
conclusionOur findings support that ACTH combined with MgSO
