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

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) accounts for approximately 16% of acute symptomatic seizures which usually occur in the first week after trauma. Children are at higher risk for post-traumatic seizures than adults. Post-traumatic seizures are a risk factor for delayed development of epilepsy. Delayed, chronic post-traumatic epilepsy is preceded by a silent period during which therapeutic interventions may arrest, revert or prevent epileptogenesis. A number of recent review articles summarize the most important features of post-traumatic seizures and epilepsy; this review will instead focus on the link between cerebrovascular permeability, epileptogenesis and ictal events after TBI. The possibility of acting on the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and the neurovascular unit to prevent, disrupt or treat post-traumatic epilepsy is also discussed. Finally, we describe the latest quest for biomarkers of epileptogenesis which may allow for a more targeted intervention.
