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

backgroundTriphasic waves (TWs) on electroencephalograms (EEGs) have predominantly been observed in adults, often associated with Creutzfeldt‒Jakob disease and metabolic encephalopathy. However, TWs have also been linked to various nonmetabolic and structural abnormalities. Additionally, reports of TWs in children are rare. CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of an 8-year and 5-month-old boy with basal ganglia lesion who exhibited TWs in the local C3 lead on electroencephalography. Subsequent EEGs revealed no additional abnormalities. During the follow-up at 1 year and 8 months, there was no significant change in the patient's condition.

conclusionTriphasic waves can occur in children with basal ganglia lesions, but their underlying causes may differ from those previously reported. Further research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms and clinical significance of TWs in pediatric patients.
