Future prospects for the drug treatment of epilepsy.
Review in CNS drugs, 2001. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Great progress has been made in the last 150 years in the pharmacological management of epilepsy, and, despite the increasing number of technological advances available, antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) remain the mainstay of treatment for the vast majority of patients with epilepsy. This review looks at possible avenues of development in the drug treatment of epilepsy. The strengths and weaknesses of those AEDs which are currently licensed are examined, and ways in which their use may be improved are discussed (e.g. rational combinations, use of new formulations). Potentially new targets that may allow the development of effective treatments are highlighted (neuroimmunological manipulation, decreasing inherent drug resistance mechanisms, and modification of adenosine neurotransmission), and a summary of the most promising AEDs currently in development is provided [e.g. carabersat, ganaxolone, harkoseride, MDL 27192, safinamide (NW 1015), pregabalin, retigabine, talampanel, valrocemide, losigamone and BIA 2093].
