Epilepsy surgery in tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC): emerging techniques and redefinition of treatment goals.
Article in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Epilepsy occurs in nearly all patients with tuberous sclerosis and is often refractory to medical treatment. The definition of surgical candidacy in these patients has broadened in recent years due to philosophical and technological advances. The goals of surgery have shifted to focusing on quality of life and maximizing neurodevelopmental potential in patients unable to obtain seizure freedom. Novel diagnostic, ablative, and neuromodulatory techniques have been developed that may help patients that were previously considered inoperable to have an improved quality of life. In the coming years, it is expected that these techniques will be further refined and lead to an improvement of neurological prognosis in patients with tuberous sclerosis.
