Treating epilepsy in the setting of medical comorbidities.
Article in Current treatment options in neurology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
opinion statementTreatment of epilepsy in patients with medical comorbidities can be challenging. Comorbidities can affect medical management and quality of life. In this review, we discuss treatment options in patients with epilepsy and medical comorbidities. In our opinion, the best way to manage patients with medical comorbidities and epilepsy is to accurately recognize and diagnose medical comorbidities, and to have adequate knowledge and familiarity with antiepileptic drug (AED) metabolism, dosing, side effects, and drug interactions. We believe the trend should move toward using the newer generation of AEDs given their generally reduced rate of adverse effects and interactions. The primary goal of therapy is seizure freedom without side effects.
