Prospective evaluation of a post-stroke epilepsy risk scale.

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
Ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes are established etiological factors for recurrent seizures. Still, only few prospective data are available to predict post-stroke epilepsy and to choose the best point in time and anticonvulsive agent for treatment. In a prospective study we evaluated 264 consecutive stroke patients and assessed their post-stroke epilepsy risk within a follow-up of 1 year. Data on ten risk items concerning the stroke localisation, persisting neurological deficit, stroke subtype, established diagnosis of vascular encephalopathy, early- and late-onset seizures were collected using a post-stroke epilepsy risk scale (PoSERS). All patients underwent brain imaging with either CT, MRI or both and 148 patients underwent electroencephalography. The overall frequency of early-onset seizures within 14 days was 4.5%, of at least one late seizure 6.4% and of epilepsy 3.8%. Chi-Square tests showed significantly higher relative frequencies of seven of the ten clinical characteristics in post-stroke epilepsy patients. The total scale showed moderate sensitivity (70%) and positive predictive value (87.5%) while specificity (99.6%) and negative predictive value (98.8%) were relatively high. The EEG showed little value in predicting post-stroke epilepsy. The PoSERS appears to be a valuable tool to predict the risk for post-stroke epilepsy within the first few days after a stroke.
