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
Introduction: Epilepsy is a syndrome of various neurological disorders. Idiosyncratic hepatotoxicity is a rare adverse effect associated with antiepileptic drugs (AED) therapy. Antiepileptic drugs may produce hepatic injury as part of a more widespread hypersensitivity reaction. Laboratory monitoring of asymptomatic effects may allow for the early detection of hepatotoxicity. So the present prospective longitudinal study was carried out to determine the effects of Anticonvulsant drug on liver enzymes among Epileptic Children. Materials Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted among children with seizure disorder attending Paediatric outdoor patient Department of Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences, Ranchi from February 2014 to October 2015. 50 children with newly diagnosed or untreated seizure disorder were included in case and 50 children of both sexes with same age group as cases were selected as control who did not have seizure. Children with age ranging from 2-10 years were included by consecutive sampling technique. Data was analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 25(IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). Paired t test was used to compare the mean values of liver enzymes amongst the children." Results: In the present study there was no significant alteration of hepatic profile after treatment with valproate except serum alkaline phosphatase which was increased from the initial value than control group and was statistically significantly with Conclusion: We concluded that these Antiepileptic drugs are safe to use in children up to 1 year.
