Article in Journal of child neurology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05676099 (TSC Alliance Tuberous Sclerosis Complex), which is not on this map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

Utilizing the multicenter TSC (tuberous sclerosis complex) Natural History Database including 2034 subjects, this study aimed to identify predictors of drug-resistant epilepsy in TSC. Basic epilepsy data were available for 1965 individuals in the database. Supplemental data were further collected from 1546 of these subjects through directed site queries, addressing additional epilepsy characteristics including the presence of drug-resistant epilepsy, therapies trialed, and outcomes of specific therapies. Epilepsy was reported in 86.4% of individuals with TSC. Infantile spasms were reported in 45.2% of individuals and focal seizures were reported in 84.4% of individuals. In those with focal epilepsy, drug resistance was reported in 59.6%, with focal seizure onset prior to age 1 year (odds ratio [OR] 1.9, confidence interval [CI] 1.4-2.5, P < .001), infantile spasms (OR 2.0, CI 1.5-2.5, P < 0.001), and infantile spasms incompletely responsive to therapy (OR 47.6, CI 6.7-333.3, P < 0.001) being associated with an increased likelihood of drug resistance.
