Assessment of learning abilities and school performance of Sudanese children with epilepsy.

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
Patients with epilepsy are at significant risk for cognitive impairment and behavioural abnormalities. The aim of this study was to assess the learning abilities and school performance of epileptic children attending Wad Medani Children Teaching Hospital, Gezira State, Sudan. This was a prospective cross-sectional case-control facility-based study. Data were collected from the hospital database and from school records. A total of 70 patients with epilepsies were recruited as index cases and 70 age and sex-matched non-epileptic patients were included as controls. Both groups underwent comprehensive psychometric assessment. Consensus neurobehavioural diagnoses were made with respect to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual. Stanford Binet Test and Battery Scales were used to assess the intelligent quotient (IQ) and learning abilities, respectively. The study population consisted of school aged (5-16 years) children; 48.6% were less than age 10 years. The male: female ratio was 1:1.1. A significant increase in learning difficulties among index cases was recorded compared to controls in all domains. The overall learning difficulties results showed a statistically significant result between index cases and controls, with
