Ictal Burst Suppression: A Case Report and Brief Overview.
Article in Cureus, 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
In patients suffering catastrophic injury to the nervous system, a burst suppression pattern found on EEG is a rare finding. Usually, this pattern consists of bursts of mixed-frequency, variable-morphology waves alternating with suppressed periods and attenuation to an undetectable signal. This pattern can be difficult to assess, as burst suppression may be associated either with limited brain activity or with both clinical and electrographic seizures (ictal burst suppression). While this can occur at all ages, in adults it is most often seen with significant anoxic insult. We report a case of anoxic ictal burst suppression in a patient after cardiac arrest that was initially thought to represent anoxic myoclonus. Correlative clinical facial twitching and arm tonicity and flexion, which were abrogated by benzodiazepine and anesthetic administration, confirmed the ictal activity. Ictal burst suppression can be challenging both to recognize and to treat. We briefly review this phenomenon and the hypotheses regarding its potential mechanisms.
