Contributions of Imaging to Neuromodulatory Treatment of Drug-Refractory Epilepsy.
Review in Brain sciences, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Epilepsy affects about 1% of the world's population, and up to 30% of all patients will ultimately not achieve freedom from seizures with anticonvulsive medication alone. While surgical resection of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) -identifiable lesion remains the first-line treatment option for drug-refractory epilepsy, surgery cannot be offered to all. Neuromodulatory therapy targeting "seizures" instead of "epilepsy" has emerged as a valuable treatment option for these patients, including invasive procedures such as deep brain stimulation (DBS), responsive neurostimulation (RNS) and peripheral approaches such as vagus nerve stimulation (VNS). The purpose of this review is to provide in-depth information on current concepts and evidence on network-level aspects of drug-refractory epilepsy. We reviewed the current evidence gained from studies utilizing advanced imaging methodology, with a specific focus on their contributions to neuromodulatory therapy.
