Sudden unexpected death in Dravet syndrome: respiratory and other physiological dysfunctions.

In one paragraph

Review in Respiratory physiology & neurobiology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02815540 (The Effects of Cannabidiol), which is not on this map. Cited by 37 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

Sudden unexpected deaths in epilepsy (SUDEP) occur at an alarming higher rate in patients with Dravet syndrome (DS) than in patients with most other forms of epilepsy. DS is a severe infantile-onset epilepsy caused by a heterozygote loss-of-function mutation in SCN1A, which encodes the voltage-gated-sodium channel NaV 1.1. The mechanisms leading to SUDEP in DS or other epilepsies are not completely understood. Understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms of SUDEP, common to most epilepsies and those specific to DS, may pave the way toward the discovery of effective preventive strategies for these epilepsy-related tragic events.
