Recurrent Status Epilepticus in an Adult With Spastic Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy.
Article in Cureus, 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
Status epilepticus (SE) is a neurological emergency associated with high morbidity and mortality. Management of individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) presents unique challenges due to baseline neurological deficits, limited communication, and altered metabolism of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). We report the case of a 22-year-old male with spastic quadriplegic CP and long-standing epilepsy who presented with recurrent generalized tonic-clonic seizures persisting for five hours despite medication compliance. His pre-existing neurological impairment complicated early recognition. A non-contrast CT brain ruled out intracranial hemorrhage, stroke, and infection. The patient was treated with intravenous diazepam and phenytoin, resulting in seizure cessation within two hours, and was discharged seizure-free after four days. This report highlights the importance of prompt diagnosis and timely escalation of treatment in SE in adults with CP. Multidisciplinary follow-up and caregiver education remain essential for long-term control and prevention of recurrence.
