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

Lesion network mapping (LNM) has been applied to true lesions (e.g., cerebrovascular lesions in stroke) to identify functionally connected brain networks. No previous studies have utilized LNM for analysis of intra-axial mass lesions. Here, we implemented LNM for identification of potentially vulnerable epileptogenic networks in mass lesions causing medically-refractory epilepsy (MRE). Intra-axial brain lesions were manually segmented in patients with MRE seen at our institution (EL_INST). These lesions were then normalized to standard space and used as seeds in a high-resolution normative resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging template. The resulting connectivity maps were first thresholded (p
