Intubation in children presenting with seizures to a pediatric emergency department in a safety net hospital.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 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
Objective: Patients seen for uncontrolled seizures in a Pediatric Emergency Department (ED) often undergo tracheal intubation (TI). We looked at factors associated with TI in children in a safety net hospital. Methods: This was a single-center retrospective case series. Fifty-six patients who had ongoing seizures at the time of arrival to the pediatric ED, between ages 0-21 years, were analyzed for demographics, seizure duration, seizure types, indications for TI, antiseizure medication on discharge, and neurological sequelae. Results: Forty-six percent of patients (26/56) underwent TI. The most common type of seizures in the intubated group was a complex febrile seizure (27%). Forty-two percent were intubated for airway protection and 46% were intubated for respiratory failure. Conclusions: In all patients presenting to a Pediatric ED with uncontrolled seizures, those undergoing TI most often had complex febrile convulsions, seizures longer in duration (
