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

The episodic nature of both epilepsy and psychiatric illnesses suggests that the brain switches between healthy and pathological states. The most obvious example of transitions between network states related to epilepsy is the manifestation of ictal events. In addition to seizures, there are more subtle changes in network communication within and between brain regions, which we propose may contribute to psychiatric illnesses associated with the epilepsies. This review will highlight evidence supporting aberrant network activity associated with epilepsy and the contribution to cognitive impairments and comorbid psychiatric illnesses. Further, we discuss potential mechanisms mediating the network dysfunction associated with comorbidities in epilepsy, including interneuron loss and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis dysfunction. Conceptually, it is necessary to think beyond ictal activity to appreciate the breadth of network dysfunction contributing to the spectrum of symptoms associated with epilepsy, including psychiatric comorbidities.
