1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Several potential risk factors have been identified in the etiopathogenesis of febrile seizures (FS), including the type and extent of breastfeeding (BF). Given the lack of conclusive data, this study aims to systematically evaluate the evidence on the association between BF and FS. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis according to PRISMA guidelines. The search was conducted using descriptors for FS, BF, and formula feeding in MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science databases. We included observational studies that compared the incidence of FS between those who had ever breastfed and those who were formula fed. The study protocol was registered on the PROSPERO platform under the number CRD42023474906. A total of 1,893,079 participants from 8 datasets were included. Our main analysis showed no significant association of any type of BF on the incidence of FS compared with formula-fed children (OR: 0.84; CI: 0.67-1.04; I
