Epilepsy and Other Neurological Complications in Pediatric Patients With Hemophilia Complicated With Intracranial Hemorrhage: A Retrospective Case Series.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is one of the most serious complications related to the prognosis of patients with hemophilia. It is also one of the major causes of epilepsy in general. However, there are few studies on epilepsy as a complication in patients with hemophilia. This observational study aimed to reveal the characteristics of hemophilia patients with epilepsy caused by ICH. We retrospectively identified five patients with ICH (9.8%) out of 51 patients with hemophilia based on medical records at the Department of Pediatrics, Hiroshima University Hospital. Four patients (7.8%) had a clinical history of ICH, and one patient (1.9%) had no clinical episodes suggestive of ICH, with imaging findings indicating old hemorrhage. Two patients (3.9%) were observed to have focal epilepsy with tonic-clonic seizures, and both had experienced ICH. Both patients were well-controlled with oral sodium valproate. None of the five patients with ICH had other severe neurological complications, such as paralysis. Epilepsy is a complication that should be recognized in patients with hemophilia, even in the absence of neurological sequelae such as paralysis. Imaging studies are important for patients with hemophilia and epilepsy, even in those without obvious clinical episodes of ICH.
