Parental Knowledge and Perceptions of the First Episode of Seizure in Children: A Single-Center Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Sage open pediatrics. 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
Introduction: Seizures in children are distressing events for caregivers, particularly when occurring for the first time. Parental knowledge and perceptions significantly influence the timeliness of medical intervention, pre-hospital management, and clinical outcomes. Objectives: This study aimed to assess parental knowledge and perceptions regarding their child's first seizure episode, identify gaps in understanding, and explore factors associated with misconceptions and delays in seeking medical care. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among parents of children presenting to the emergency department with a first-time seizure. Results: Among 100 respondents, 74% correctly identified seizure symptoms. However, none reported performing appropriate pre-hospital interventions or demonstrated knowledge of seizure-specific first-aid measures. Additionally, higher parental education was significantly associated with better knowledge scores ( Conclusion: This study reveals gaps in parental knowledge and a high prevalence of misconceptions related to pediatric seizures. These findings underscore the need for targeted educational interventions to improve caregiver responses and enhance care.
