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

Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) are small, round, or ovoid hypointense lesions observed on susceptibility-sensitive MRI sequences, such as T2*-weighted gradient-echo and susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI). This case report presents a 10-year-old male with refractory convulsive status epilepticus, characterized by persistent seizures, agitation, and myoclonus. The patient had no prior hospitalizations or neuroimaging studies. Despite initial benzodiazepine treatment, the seizures persisted. After 10 days of intensive care, including valproate therapy and ventilatory support, the patient showed significant clinical improvement and was extubated. CMBs were identified on SWI sequence. Their association with status epilepticus may offer insights into cerebrovascular changes in critically ill pediatric patients. This case highlights the association between status epilepticus and microbleeds in pediatric patients.
