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

objectiveWe sought to investigate the contribution of delayed

methodsForty-one patients with epilepsy underwent a brain dual time point

resultsThe AI at the delayed time points was increased by a mean of 3.7 over the early time point in all patients (P < 0.01). The biggest AIs were found in the MRI-positive group. The ΔAI between two imaging points were 3.71 ± 3.50 and 4.67 ± 7.94 for MRI-positive and MRI-negative; 4.52 ± 6.70 and 2.51 ± 2.42 for extra-TLE and TLE; and 4.24 ± 6.52 and 3.46 ± 2.90 for short delay and long delay groups, respectively. There were more patients with increased AI at the delayed time with MRI-positive (95.8%, 23/24), with extra-TLE (96.8%, 30/31), and with short delay time (93.7%, 30/32). Two observers who had no knowledge of the images chose 85.4% and 82.9% of the delay-time point images as the more obvious asymmetry from all images. The kappa value between the two observers was 0.66 with good agreement.
