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

rationaleEarly infantile epileptic encephalopathy (EIEE) 65 was recently shown to be caused by the cytoplasmic FMRP interacting protein 2 (CYFIP2) mutation. To date, only 5 cases have been reported in two articles, and all the outcomes in all cases were poor. PATIENT CONCERNS: In this study, we reported an 8-month-old girl with a 1 month-long history of seizures and developmental delay. Over 1 month later, she developed epileptic spasms in clusters with hypsarrhythmia on electroencephalography. DIAGNOSIS: The patient was diagnosed with EIEE 65 and trio-based whole-exome sequencing revealed a causative de novo CYFIP2 mutation c.260G >T (p.Arg87Leu).

interventionsThe proband was successively treated with multiple antiepileptic drugs, including levetiracetam, phenobarbital, VitB6, topiramate, methylprednisolone, prednisone, valproic acid and vigabatrin. OUTCOMES: After resistance to multiple anti-epileptic drugs over 2 months of treatment, she finally achieved seizure-free several days after vigabatrin administration and her developmental delay steadily improved. LESSONS: OUR: case confirmed that CYFIP2 was the pathogenic gene of EIEE 65. We also first demonstrated vigabatrin might be effective for control of seizures and helpful for the improved outcomes of these patients.
