Anxiety and school avoidance in an 8-year-old child with epilepsy.
Article in Epilepsy & behavior reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Anxiety is ubiquitous in school age children. Co-occurring medical illness adds to the complexity of identifying pathologic anxiety as opposed to that of typical development such as with social interactions or academic pressures. Anxiety may also occur in the context of cognitive difficulties or inattention, both of which may be exacerbated by epilepsy or by anti-seizure medicines themselves. Treatment strategies may require patience and long-term observations to account for the typical range of stressors that may be expected with disease progression or with development through childhood. This section illustrates the challenge of diagnosis and management of anxiety in the context of epilepsy in a school aged child and addresses nuances that neurology clinicians need to consider. Practical strategies for management including stepwise options for pharmacologic treatment will be emphasized.
