State of the ketogenic diet(s) in epilepsy.
Review in Current neurology and neuroscience reports, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers.
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
Fasting has been recognized as a treatment for seizures since ancient times. The ketogenic diet is a low-carbohydrate, adequate-protein, high-fat diet that biochemically mimics the fasting state and has been used to successfully treat seizures for 85 years. The diet has enjoyed a resurgence in popularity over the past decade and is gaining acceptance and use worldwide. Many studies over the past several years have explored possible mechanisms of action for the ketogenic diet. This review addresses these studies, as well as recent research regarding possible indications for the diet, variations in its initiation, side effect profiles, and the recent use of modified formulations to improve tolerability.
