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 refers to a common chronic neurological disorder that affects all age groups. Unfortunately, antiepileptic drugs are ineffective in about one-third of patients. The complex interindividual variability influences the response to drug treatment rendering the therapeutic failure one of the most relevant problems in clinical practice also for increased hospitalizations and healthcare costs. Recent advances in the genetics and neurobiology of epilepsies are laying the groundwork for a new personalized medicine, focused on the reversal or avoidance of the pathophysiological effects of specific gene mutations. This could lead to a significant improvement in the efficacy and safety of treatments for epilepsy, targeting the biological mechanisms responsible for epilepsy in each individual. In this review article, we focus on the mechanism of the epilepsy pharmacoresistance and highlight the use of a systems biology approach for personalized medicine in refractory epilepsy.
