Corpus callosotomy might have reduced epileptic seizure-induced repetitive shoulder joint dislocation in two patients with medically intractable epilepsy who were not focus resection candidates.

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
purposeTreatment options appear lacking for patients with epileptic seizure-induced shoulder dislocations who are not candidates for shoulder and focus resection surgeries. To reduce shoulder joint dislocations caused by epileptic seizures and simultaneously reduce the frequency and intensity of seizures, we performed corpus callosotomy for two patients with medically intractable epilepsy that induced repetitive shoulder joint dislocations. MATERIALS AND
methodsA 21-year-old man (Patient 1) with bilateral temporal lobe epilepsy [Focal onset impaired awareness seizure (FIAS), 1/month; focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizure (BTCS), 1/2-3 months], autism and intellectual disorder and a 34-year-old man (Patient 2) with left multi-lobar epilepsy (BTCS, 3-4/month; status epilepticus, 1/2-3 months), autism and intellectual disorder had suffered from repetitive seizure-induced shoulder dislocations (1/2-3 months for Patient 1; 3-4/month for Patient 2). Due to frequent seizures and uncooperativeness, they were not candidates for shoulder joint dislocation surgery. They were also not candidates for focus resection surgery due to multiple foci and uncooperativeness for invasive monitoring. We performed corpus callosotomy for both patients.
resultsPostoperatively, frequencies of both shoulder dislocations (2 in 5 years of follow-up for Patient 1; 1 in 5 months of follow-up for Patient 2) and epileptic seizures were drastically reduced.
conclusionsFor patients who are not candidates for focus resection and shoulder joint surgeries but who suffer from frequent shoulder joint dislocations, corpus callosotomy could be a treatment of last resort.
