Advancing FIRES Treatment: The Potential of Intrathecal Dexamethasone.
Article in Annals of the Child Neurology Society, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Background: Febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES) is a rare, devastating epilepsy syndrome characterized by refractory status epilepticus following a febrile illness. Patient Description: We describe a 12-year-old girl with FIRES who exhibited a remarkable clinical and electrographic response to intrathecal dexamethasone (IT-DEX) after failing multiple antiseizure and immunomodulatory therapies. Despite persistent neuroinflammation, IT-DEX led to rapid seizure control and significant neurological recovery. Conclusion: This report supports IT-DEX as a promising intervention in FIRES and underscores the need for further research into its mechanisms and long-term efficacy.
