Article in SAGE open medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Typically, mothers are the primary caregivers for their children; therefore, their knowledge and attitude towards febrile seizures impact the management of this condition in the home environment. Aims: This study is designed to explore mothers' knowledge, attitudes towards managing febrile seizures at home, and the correlation between socio-demographic variables and knowledge and attitudes towards managing febrile seizures. Methods: This research adopted a cross-sectional design consisting of a convenience sample of 84 mothers who had attended a paediatric clinic or accompanied their child during hospitalisation at two public hospitals in northern Jordan between August 2021 and December 2021. The data employed by this study were gathered via a valid structured questionnaire that was adapted from the work of Elbilgahy and Abd El Aziz. Results: This study revealed that 63.6% of participants possessed a good knowledge of the condition, and that 63.1% of participants exhibited positive attitudes towards febrile seizure management. In addition, there was a significant positive correlation between the knowledge and attitude scores ( Conclusion: Mothers demonstrated generally good knowledge and positive attitudes towards febrile seizure management; however, important misconceptions persist. Targeted educational interventions by healthcare professionals are needed to improve safe home management and support parental confidence.
