Burn Injuries in Patients with Epilepsy: A Retrospective Case Series with Focus on Risk Factors : Epilepsy-related Burn Injuries.
Article in Galen medical journal, 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
Background: Burn injuries in patients with epilepsy represent a significant public health issue. This study aimed to investigate the demographic and clinical characteristics, causes, and severity of burn injuries in patients with epilepsy and to explore associations with epilepsy-related factors. Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 42 patients with epilepsy who sustained burn injuries and were admitted to our hospital between 2015 and 2023. Data on patient demographics, burn type and severity, total body surface area (TBSA), seizure type and frequency, and antiseizure medication (ASM) adherence were collected and analyzed. Results: Among the 42 patients (28 males and 14 females; mean age 35.6 ± 12.1 years), the most common causes of burns were direct flame (38.1%) and hot liquids (28.6%). Most burns occurred at home (78.6%) during daily activities. Generalized tonic-clonic seizures were the most frequent type (59.5%). Patients with frequent seizures (1/month) and those with poor ASM adherence experienced more severe burns and longer hospital stays (P0.01). Conclusion: Patients with epilepsy are at increased risk of burn injuries, especially in the context of uncontrolled seizures. Effective seizure management may play a key role in reducing the severity of such injuries and associated complications.
