Congenital Long QT Syndrome Masquerading as Epilepsy: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
In this case report, we present a 24-year-old woman with a previous diagnosis of epilepsy who was admitted to the hospital following loss of consciousness (LOC). It was initially assumed that this was an epileptic seizure based on her previous diagnosis of epilepsy; however, a review of her electrocardiograms (ECGs) revealed a prolonged QT interval. She was admitted to the cardiology ward for continuous ECG monitoring and subsequently developed self-limiting torsades de pointes (TDP). A diagnosis of congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) was established, her anticonvulsant treatment was withdrawn, and she was managed with nadolol, mexiletine, and an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). This case underscores the importance of excluding cardiac disease with secondary anoxic seizures in patients with apparent epilepsy and in particular the need for all patients to have a baseline 12-lead ECG as part of their initial assessment.
