LGI1-antibody associated epilepsy successfully treated in the outpatient setting.
Article in Journal of neuroimmunology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
We report six patients with anti-LGI1 associated epilepsy. Two patients presented with new-onset generalized tonic-clonic seizures, four developed faciobrachial dystonic seizures and two piloerection. All patients had significant cognitive complaints at the time of diagnosis. All patients described seizure reduction during the first week of carbamazepine, and seizure freedom was obtained at a median of 13 days (range 7-22), sustained after the initiation of immunosuppression. Median time from symptom onset to carbamazepine initiation was 164 days (range 38-206 days). We discuss the particular seizure response to sodium channel blocking antiepileptic drugs, alone or associated with immunosuppression in this antibody mediated seizures.
