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

backgroundJuvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) is the most common idiopathic generalized epilepsy syndrome, accounting for 10% of all epilepsy. However, there is limited information regarding the predictors of seizure outcome. The aim of this study was to determine the predictors of seizure outcome in JME patients.

methodsA population-based retrospective study of JME patients who were treated at the Department of Neurology of affiliated Zhongshan Hospital, Xiamen University from 2008 to 2013.

resultsSixty-three patients (30 women and 33 men) were enrolled in this study. The median age at seizure onset was 14 years old, and the average duration of epilepsy was 5 years. The onset of JME at age <16 years was found in 63.5% of patients. The epileptiform runs ≥3 s were observed in 35.8% patients. Febrile seizure was noted in 28.9% of patients. Among 63 patients, 40 patients (63.5%) had remission. Multivariate analysis identified the following factors as significant predictors of seizure outcome: the onset of JME at age <16 years, epileptiform runs ≥3 s runs, and febrile seizure.

conclusionThe onset of JME at age <16 years, febrile seizures and epileptiform runs ≥3 s might be associated with poor long-term seizure outcome in patients with JME.
