"Saved by the Bell": Near SUDEP during intracranial EEG monitoring.
Article in Epilepsia open, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
SUDEP is the sudden unexpected death of a person with epilepsy, when no structural or toxicological cause of death can be found. The majority of witnessed cases are reported to be preceded by a convulsive seizure and postictal hypoventilation. Here, we report an 8-year-old girl with drug-resistant focal seizures secondary to a focal cortical dysplasia type IIb. While undergoing invasive intracranial monitoring with subdural and depth electrodes, she had a clinical apnea event recorded on video, followed by bradycardia, which required resuscitation. Her intracranial electroencephalogram (EEG) during the event showed diffuse slowing and attenuation of cortical activity, with bradycardia that responded to positive pressure ventilation with oxygen. This near SUDEP event was not preceded by either an electroclinical or electrographic seizure. This is the first report of a witnessed, near-SUDEP event during intracranial monitoring. It emphasizes the fact that near-SUDEP can occur without a preceding seizure.
