Clinical profile, management and risk factors for seizure-related burn injuries among patients with epilepsy in southwest China.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Objective: The epidemiological information associated with seizure-related burn injuries is lacking in China. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the clinical profile, management, outcome, and risk factors of burns that are directly caused by seizures among epileptic patients, and identify the epidemiological characteristics to develop effective preventive strategies. Methods: This study was conducted between January 2002 and December 2022 in a large Chinese burn center. Data including clinical profile, wound treatment, and outcome were analyzed. A multiple linear regression was used to screen the risk factors for the length of hospital stay (LOS), and a multiple logistic regression was used to screen the contributory factors for the amputation. Results: A total of 184 burn patients (55.98 % females) were enrolled, with a 0.78 % incidence rate during the study period. The mean age of the patients was 36.16 years (SD: 17.93). Patients aged 20-29 were the most affected age groups (23.37 %). Most burns were caused by flame, accounting for 60.33 % (111/184) of all cases. In total, 76.09 % of the 184 patients underwent at least one operation, and 35 patients (19.02 %) still required amputation during the study period. Burn sites (hands) had the greatest impact on amputation (OR = 3.799), followed by flame burns (OR = 3.723). The mean LOS/TBSA was 6.90 ± 8.53 d, and a larger TBSA, full-thickness burns, and a higher number of operations were identified as the risk factors for a longer LOS. There was one death among the 184 patients, with a mortality rate of 0.54 %. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that burn injuries are extremely harmful to individuals with epilepsy in China because they are at high risk of amputation and disability. Effective healthcare education and preventive programs that focus on lifestyle modifications and seizure control should be implemented to reduce the burn incidence in these populations.
