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

We expand the differential diagnosis of LGI1-positive faciobrachial dystonic seizures (FBDS) by presenting a 67-year-old woman affected by seizures of similar semiology who was found to have insular epilepsy. We report the distinct characteristics of insular faciobrachial dystonic-like seizures that would help clinicians to differentiate them from typical LGI1-positive FBDS, thus, guiding therapy while awaiting antibody results. LGI1-negative faciobrachial dystonic-like seizures should be considered when the seizure semiology includes unilateral and prolonged dystonia without loss of awareness, there is an ictal EEG correlate, MRI is suggestive of insular lesion, and when there is neither clearly associated memory impairment nor hyponatremia.
