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

Epilepsy is common neurological condition affecting 0.8-1% of the human population. Since 80% of patients are under 20 years of age, it is mainly a disease of the developmental period. The causes of epilepsy are heterogeneous, but the disease has always been considered a genetic disorder, which no longer doubted. Epilepsy genetics has undergone a revolution since the discovery of the first gene responsible for epilepsy. This is mainly because of introduction of the next generation sequencing as research and diagnostic tool, and transition from studies of pedigrees with epilepsy to the analysis of cases of epileptic encephalopathies. In a short time more than 50 early infantile epileptic encephalopathies were recognized due to the causative genes. Whole exome or targeted panel sequencing has been used as a diagnostic tool with a diagnostic yield of about 30-40%. The "genetic diagnosis" that is obtained makes it possible to introduce targeted treatment in an increasing number of cases. Since epileptic encephalopaties are often regarded as the model disease for epilepsy, these therapeutic strategies can provide treatment for patients with common epilepsies.
