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

Tuberous sclerosis (TSC) is an autosomal dominantly inherited genetic disorder that chiefly affects the central nervous system, along with the other multiple systems. While phenomenology and symptom severity may vary greatly from one individual to another, the most common neurological presentation is epilepsy, which may be refractory in a considerable number of patients. Convulsive SE is seen frequently in TSC patients due to the high ratio of refractory seizures in well-studied cohorts. Status epilepticus (SE) is a life-threating condition and requires urgent medical care. Non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) is an epileptic state with no convulsive seizures but impaired consciousness and corresponding electrophysiological findings. Due to its heterogeneity of clinical features, it is generally hard to recognize, and thus difficult to treat promptly. The relationship between TSC and NCSE is a relatively less emphasized issue in the literature. Here, we present two cases of TSC with NCSE with a view to increasing clinicians' awareness of the association between refractory epilepsy and NCSE.
