Epileptic seizures with reversible lesions in bilateral frontoparietal lobes: A case report and literature review.
Review in The Journal of international medical research, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is recommended for patients with epileptic seizures to rule out an underlying focal lesion. However, the radiological characteristics of epilepsy are not well elucidated. Transient periictal MRI abnormality (TPMA) refers to reversible MRI signal changes observed in epileptic patients. A 32-year-old man presented with a 2-week history of epileptic seizures, which initially manifested as focal aware seizures and progressed to a generalized tonic-clonic seizure on the third day. Electroencephalography showed sharp waves, sharp and slow wave complexes, and irregular δ waves over bilateral temporal lobes. After admission, brain MRI showed abnormal signals in the bilateral frontoparietal lobes. He was administered oral oxcarbazepine (75 mg twice daily). During follow-up he was seizure-free; the abnormal MRI signals persisted at 2 weeks, but were completely resolved at 4 months. The possibility of TPMA should be considered in patients with epileptic disorders, and differentiated from a potential epileptogenic lesion.
