EEG abnormalities in children with global developmental delay: A retrospective study.

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: Global developmental delay (GDD) is a common pediatric condition with multiple etiologies. An electroencephalogram (EEG) is commonly used, when there is a clinical suspicion of seizures in GDD, which provide treatment options and a prognosis. Aims: To study the prevalence of EEGs findings in pediatric patients presenting with GDD and to examine the use of abnormal EEGs assessment in children with GDD. Design: A retrospective cross-sectional study. Settings: Pediatric neurology clinic at king Fahad specialist hospital in Dammam (KFSHD), Saudi Arabia. Methods and Materials: The data consist of brain EEGs of 110 patients who were referred by the pediatric neurology department from February 2016 to April 2018. The data entered and analyzed by using Statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS). Results: The sample is a total of 110 pediatric patients, 59 males and 51 females, who were diagnosed with developmental delay. The mean age of children with abnormal EEG findings was 22.5 months ± 60.5, with a range of three months to 12 years. The oldest age group was five to 12 years, with a Conclusion: An EEG played important role to classify seizures in children with GDD. Brain EEGs can demonstrate the association of brain anomalies with the etiologies of GDD and increase the rate of positive outcomes for children with GDD.
