Which clinical and neuropsychological factors are responsible for cognitive impairment in patients with epilepsy?
Article in International journal of public health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
objectivesThe study aimed to assess the effect of demographic and clinical features of epilepsy, anxiety, depressed mood, sleep, and quality of life on the prediction of cognitive decline in patients with epilepsy.
methodsTwo hundred and six consecutive patients with epilepsy (age 41.8 ± 15.6 years, mean, SD) out of 279, were included in this cross-sectional study. We used simple linear regression to calculate the results.
resultsObjective cognitive status was predicted by anxiety and depression mood changes (Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), p = 0.03, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), p = 0.005), language subdomain of Quality of Life Inventory in Epilepsy-89 (QOLIE-89) (p = 0.003), and total QOLIE-89 (p = 0.001). No significance was shown in demographic and clinical features of epilepsy (gender, age at onset, epilepsy duration, type, etiology of epilepsy, and antiepileptic treatment), except frequency of generalized epileptic seizures (p = 0.03), which also served as an independent predictor of anxiety (BAI) and depression (BDI).
conclusionsOur findings point at the role of mood changes in the cognitive status of patients with epilepsy, which should be used as an essential therapeutic target apart of seizure control.
