Delayed focal seizures following gunshot wound to the head in a child with minimal initial sequelae.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A 6 year old girl accidentally discovered a gun in her home and shot herself in her mouth. A bullet lodged in her right frontal lobe, but she remained neurologically intact with minimal symptoms. Her diagnosis was delayed due to the family leaving the emergency room for long wait times and later noticed over 72 hours from the injury at a dentist appointment. She was sent back to the emergency department, where head imaging revealed the injury to be inoperable. Six months later, the patient developed focal impaired awareness seizures. This was treated with oxcarbazepine, and patient responded well with no further spells. The case was highly unusual as the neurological symptoms were mild compared to the severity and the risk of initial intracranial injury. It emphasizes the frequently overlooked risk of leaving guns unsecured in households with children.
