Dietary treatment of intractable epilepsy.
Review in Continuum (Minneapolis, Minn.), 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 3 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 31 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.

Abstract
purpose of reviewDietary therapies for seizure management date back further than pharmacologic interventions, but many neurologists are not familiar with these treatment options. This introduction to dietary therapies will discuss administration of ketogenic diets, comparisons between diet types, evidence-based efficacy of diet therapies in epilepsy treatment, and management of side effects. This review will provide the general neurologist with the skills to identify appropriate candidates for these treatments and to offer comprehensive ongoing care. RECENT
findingsIn adults and children with medically resistant epilepsy, studies have consistently shown a greater than 50% reduction in seizure frequency in approximately one-half of patients within days to months after starting dietary therapy. SUMMARY: Dietary treatment options for epilepsy include the classic ketogenic diet, the medium-chain triglyceride diet, the modified Atkins diet, and the low glycemic index treatment. These were first used to control seizures in children with intractable epilepsy, but in recent years have also been demonstrated to be safe and effective in children and adults with a broad range of seizure types and are being used with increased frequency worldwide.
