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

PRIMARY

objectiveThe purpose of the current study is to assess the role of the APOE genotype in post-traumatic seizure (PTS) development. RESEARCH

designA retrospective study of 322 adult Caucasians with a severe TBI and APOE genotype. METHODS AND PROCEDURES: Medical records were searched for PTS. Time to first seizure was categorized as early, late or delayed-onset PTS. Potential PTS associations by genotype, grouped genotype and allele were investigated. MAIN OUTCOME AND

resultsNo statistically significant associations were found. However, two out of the four individuals (50%) with the E4/E4 genotype had late/delayed-onset PTS. Furthermore, none with a E2/E2 or E2/E4 genotype seized in the late periods.

conclusionsThe results of this study may suggest 4/4 as a risk genotype for late/delayed onset PTS and a potential neuroprotective role of the E2 allele. However, this study did not definitively support a role for the APOE genotype in PTS susceptibility and indicates that larger populations are needed to fully evaluate the potential impact of APOE on PTS.
