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
background and purposeThe reports indicate on the incidence of seizure disorder about 1.5 per cent of the normal elderly population. The Quality of Life in Epilepsy Inventory (QOLIE-31) has been pervasive simple tool to screen seizure in the busy neurophysiological settings and monitoring. It was constructed as self-administered tool in two formats, 89 and 31-items. To the reliability and validity of the QOLIE-31 across older adults in the southwest Iran and discuss its role in the detection of health-related quality of elderly patients with epilepsy.
methodsAbout 73 older adults (mean age = 66.3 ± 1.71) were sampled from the eight hospitals and caring centres. They replied to the QOLIE-31. External and criterion validity was calculated by correlation to the SF-36 questionnaire, to check and validate the epilepsy specific dimensions. The QOLIE-31 includes seven subscales: overall quality of life, seizure worry, emotional well-being, energy/fatigue, cognitive, medication effects, and social function.
resultsThere was significant difference within sample groups regarding main variables (
conclusionsThe results pointed to the well-adjusted reliability and psychometric properties of the QOLIE-31 and its usefulness for the relevant studies as well.
