Attacks With Urinary Incontinence Without Convulsions: Complete Atrioventricular Block Mimicking an Epileptic Seizure.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Differentiating between syncope and epileptic seizures can be challenging when a specific medical history is not available. We herein report a 70s man who exhibited recurrent, brief unresponsiveness while at rest on five occasions over a year. While there were no convulsions, the patient consistently reported urinary incontinence. These events were preceded by an epigastric rising sensation without chest symptoms, suggesting a possible diagnosis of temporal lobe epilepsy, and subsequent EEG revealed temporal semi-rhythmic delta activity. In contrast, the ECG revealed a left bundle branch block, while the initial Holter ECG showed no abnormalities. However, subsequent follow-up examinations revealed a complete atrioventricular block necessitating permanent pacemaker implantation. It is important to exercise caution in the interpretation of EEG findings. Moreover, instances of 'urinary incontinence without convulsion' may indicate non-epileptic events.
