Association of Interictal Respiratory Variability and Severity of Postictal Hypoxemia After Generalized Convulsive Seizures.

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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesSevere hypoxemia after generalized convulsive seizures (GCSs) can trigger neural injury and is a potential biomarker for sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). Some degree of variability in interbreath interval is normal, but increased variability may suggest dysfunctional breathing control and may be associated with severe postictal hypoxemia. We evaluated the relationship between interictal breathing variability and severity and duration of hypoxemia after GCS.
methodsWe prospectively collected video-EEG, respiratory flow and effort, pulse oximetry (SpO
resultsOf 2,506 participants enrolled, 257 (141 [∼54%] female; mean age = 37.9 years) had ≥1 GCS, but only 152 GCS in 123 had evaluable respiratory data. Multivariable model for hypoxemia duration showed that SpO DISCUSSION: Measures of interictal respiratory variability are associated with severe and prolonged hypoxemia after GCS. Increased interictal respiratory variability suggests baseline respiratory dysregulation in some PWE and may be a surrogate for SUDEP risk.
