The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04649008 (Optimized Intracranial EEG Targeting in Focal Epilepsy Based Upon Neuroimaging Connectomics), which is not on this map. Cited by 11 papers.

1 · What the graph read from it

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.

Abstract

introductionEpilepsy surgery rests heavily upon magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Technical developments have brought significantly improved efficacy of MR imaging in detecting and assessing surgical epileptogenic lesions, while more clinical experience has brought better definition of the pathological groups. DISCUSSION: MRI is fairly efficient in identifying developmental, epilepsy-associated tumors such as ganglioglioma (with its variants gangliocytoma and desmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma), the complex, simple and nonspecific forms of dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor, and the rare pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma. The efficacy of MR imaging is not as good for the diagnosis of focal cortical dysplasia (FCD), as it does not necessarily correlate with histopathological FCD subtypes and does not show the real extent of the dysplasia which may even be missed in a high percentage of cases. Further developments with better, multichannel coils, higher magnetic fields, specific sequences, and different approaches (such as diffusion tensor imaging) for depicting the structural abnormalities may hopefully improve this efficacy. A general review of the MR features of the diverse pathologies concerned with epilepsy surgery in the pediatric context is provided with illustrative images.
