Rare seizure presentation in 3-year-old male: Case of focal epilepsy associated with squatting and running.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 2025. 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
We report the case of a 3-year-old male initially observed to have breath-holding spells, squatting, and spontaneous crying who later developed symptoms of atypical seizures suggestive of focal epilepsy. Electroencephalogram confirmed focal seizures, while MRI revealed periventricular leukomalacia. Antiepileptic drugs were imperative to resolving the seizure symptoms, although complications arose with certain side effects. This case highlights the importance of identifying different characteristic seizure presentations and distinguishing breath-holding spells from atypical seizures through a timely electroencephalogram and neuroimaging to make an accurate diagnosis. In addition, we discuss the intricacy of diagnosing atypical seizures and the different ways in which they can present. Help the reader direct their attention to a valuable case report about childhood epilepsy and the uncommon symptoms associated. Highlighting the importance of identifying different characteristic seizure presentations and distinguishing breath-holding spells from atypical seizures through timely electroencephalogram and neuroimaging to make an accurate diagnosis.
