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

Clobazam is a 1,5-benzodiazepine used successfully worldwide since the 1970s as an anxiolytic and antiepileptic drug. Since its recent Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval in the United States in 2011 as adjunctive treatment for Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, it has continued to show sustained efficacy and a better safety and tolerability profile compared with other benzodiazepines. The two randomized, controlled studies that led to the US FDA approval, as well as the follow-up multicenter, open-label study of clobazam, showed ≥50% seizure reduction for more than 50% of Lennox-Gastaut syndrome patients, while none of the other FDA-approved treatments for LGS have demonstrated efficacy rates better than 50%. Clobazam appears to have a safe profile and sustained effectiveness over the first 3 years of use in LGS and other epilepsy syndromes with intractable seizures, which makes it a viable long-term treatment option.
