Levetiracetam- associated B-cell lymphopenia in a neonate: a rare case report.
Article in Acta neurologica Belgica, 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
While antiseizure medications (ASMs) exhibit the ability to influence the immune system, the specific immunosuppressive consequences in neonates remain insufficiently delineated. Levetiracetam is regarded a safe and effective second-line treatment following phenobarbital, particularly in cases where first-line agents are ineffective or result in adverse reactions in neonatal seizures. We present a neonate who developed B-cell lymphopenia due to levetiracetam administration, which constitutes a previously unrecognized adverse effect of the medication in neonates. To our knowledge, this case marks the initial documented occurrence of B-cell lymphopenia associated with levetiracetam in a neonate.
