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

Most pregnant women with epilepsy need pharmacological treatment during pregnancy. Children exposed to antiepileptic drugs have an increased risk of being born with major malformations. Some antiepileptic drugs seem to have negative effects on psychomotor or cognitive development in children exposed during foetal life. Neither carbamazepine nor lamotrigine in monotherapy seem to affect the cognition of exposed children. Several studies have shown negative effects on the long-term neurodevelopment of children prenatally exposed to valproic acid or polytherapy (two or more antiepileptic drugs during pregnancy). For most of the newer antiepileptic drugs there are insufficient data regarding long-term outcome.
