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.

2 · The registry

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

Previous studies on gray matter concentration changes in patients with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) are inconsistent. To investigate cortical abnormality in JME differently, we measured the cortical thickness in 19 JME patients and 18 normal controls. Results showed that the cortical thicknesses of superior/middle/medial frontal gyri, and superior/middle/ inferior temporal gyri were decreased in JME patients. Moreover, cortical thicknesses of precentral gyrus and medial orbital gyrus of right hemispheres were negatively correlated with disease duration. These findings suggest that JME brains have cortical gray matter atrophy in the frontal and temporal lobes.
