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

purpose of reviewThe relationship of brain tumors and seizures remains poorly understood. This article is an overview of the epidemiology, etiology, and diagnostic and treatment approaches of tumor-related epilepsy primarily with regard to glial-based tumors, the most commonly considered brain tumor in this field. RECENT

findingsOver the past many years, several novel etiologic mechanisms to explain how tumors induce seizures have been developed, which this article reviews, including the roles of glutamate-induced excitotoxicity, matrix metalloproteinases, isocitrate dehydrogenase, methylguanine methyltransferase, and functional network connectivity. As well, diagnostic and treatment approaches vary considerably. This article summarizes the evidence and provides the rationale for a reconsideration of how we deliver pre-operative, peri-operative, and post-operative care to these patients. Patients with brain tumors and epilepsy are a very challenging subgroup of patients, which necessitates not just a thorough understanding of the current principles regarding tumor-related epilepsy but also the development of collaborative research to advance our knowledge even further, and a concerted effort to develop a standardized, multi-disciplinary clinical approach to improve the care of these patients.
