Seizure in a Seven-Year-Old With Hypertensive Encephalopathy: A Report of a Rare Case.
Article in Cureus, 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
Hypertensive encephalopathy is a rare etiology for seizures in the pediatric population. A previously healthy seven-year-old boy presented to our Emergency Department (ED) with status epilepticus and high blood pressure. In spite of normal initial findings, the patient's elevated blood pressure prompted concern for hypertensive encephalopathy. A subsequent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan identified posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) as a condition resulting from uncontrolled high blood pressure. Following appropriate antihypertensive management, the patient's symptoms were alleviated, and he was eventually discharged. The case highlights why hypertensive encephalopathy must be recognized as a potential cause of seizures in pediatric patients. It also shows the significance of measuring blood pressure in children as part of their initial assessment.
