Recognizing pediatric febrile myoclonus: a video-documented case report and review of the current literature.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 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
Febrile myoclonus (FM) is a benign condition characterized by the sudden onset of generalized, multifocal, or segmental jerks during fever, without signs of central nervous system infections, resolving as the temperature elevation subsides. This condition is poorly described in literature, and its incidence is not well identified. We present the case of a 1-year-old child who developed myoclonic jerks during a febrile episode, diagnosed with FM. The child exhibited a normal neurological examination and neuromotor development appropriate for age. The electroencephalogram (EEG) showed no epileptiform discharges during the events, and past medical or familiar history was negative for epilepsy or any other neurological condition. We conducted a narrative review of the current literature to improve understanding of this benign clinical manifestation. Additionally, we included audio and video material to aid physicians in recognizing the condition, avoiding unnecessary diagnostic procedures and overtreatment with antiseizure medications. Our goal is to increase awareness of this rare phenomenon and expand its phenotypical spectrum.
