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

Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and frontal lobe epilepsy (FLE) are the largest subgroup of partial epilepsy, and focal cortical dysplasias (FCDs) are highly epileptogenic brain lesions and are a frequent cause for antiepileptic drug (AED)-resistant focal epilepsies that mostly occur in the temporal and frontal lobes. We performed a graph-theoretical study based on the diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) data of patients with FLE or TLE caused by FCDs or lesions with high suspicion of FCDs and evaluated their cognitive function by the Chinese version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment-Basic (MoCA-BC). The construction of the white matter structural network and graph-theoretical analysis was performed by Pipeline for Analysing Brain Diffusion Images (PANDA) and Graph-theoretical Network Analysis (GRETNA). We used the nonparametric analysis of covariance to compare the differences in diffusion metrics, network attributes and nodal attributes among FLE, TLE, and healthy control (HC) groups and then performed
