Research progress on abdominal epilepsy in children.
Review in Frontiers in neuroscience, 2026. 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
Abdominal epilepsy (AE) is a type of focal autonomic epilepsy characterized by recurrent paroxysmal abdominal pain as the primary clinical manifestation. It is relatively more common in children and adolescents and is often accompanied by autonomic nervous system dysfunction and altered consciousness. Due to its atypical clinical presentation and symptom overlap with gastrointestinal disorders, AE is frequently misdiagnosed or overlooked in clinical practice. Advances in neuroimaging, electroencephalography (EEG), and molecular biology have deepened the understanding of AE's pathogenesis and diversified its diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. This article systematically reviews and critically appraises recent research on AE in children, covering epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. By evaluating the strengths and limitations of the existing evidence (predominantly from case reports, small case series, and a limited number of controlled studies), it aims to highlight reliable conclusions, identify knowledge gaps, and inform future clinical practice and research priorities.
