[Current clinical-neurophysiological findings in absence epilepsies].
Review in Der Nervenarzt, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
According to the international classification of epileptic seizures (1981) generalized seizures present ictal signs indicating seizure onset in both hemispheres whereas focal seizures present ictal signs pointing to one hemisphere at seizure onset. Recent neurophysiological studies using MEG, EEG, and fMRI suggest that in case of idiopathic generalized absence epilepsies, activity predominates in specific networks, which include frontoparietal cortical as well as subcortical areas of both hemispheres. In these network regions, epileptic activity can occur circumscribed and focal as spike or spike-wave activity but also widely distributed, bilateral, and homologous. As a consequence to the classification of "generalized" epileptic seizures and syndromes, it might be possible to distinguish a subgroup: regional bilateral homologous epilepsies. These must be distinguished from a pure culture of focal frontal lobe epilepsies, which can also be accompanied by the lead symptom of absences.
