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

Aphasic status epilepticus (SE) is a clinical entity of SE, but it has not been well recognized. We report a 43-year-old female with a chronic drug-resistant epilepsy with aphasic SE, treated by resective surgery. The patient showed long-lasting weekly episodes of hypokinesia, slow verbal response, and dysphasia, which were diagnosed as symptoms of aphasic SE. Magnetic resonance imaging showed encephalomalacia in the left frontal lobe with a hemosiderin rim. Intracranial electroencephalography revealed continuous spikes, predominantly on the left superior frontal gyrus with hemosiderin deposit. The aphasic symptoms were seen when ictal discharges gradually spread to the wide area of the left anterior frontal lobe, including the language area. The episodes of recurrent aphasic SE had disappeared by one year after the left anterior frontal resection. We should consider aphasic SE when language impairment is episodic, and consider surgical intervention in cases where it repeatedly occurs despite appropriate medical therapy.
