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

Seizures in infancy have highly variable courses and underlying etiologies. However, there are only a few long-term follow-up studies regarding infantile-onset epilepsy. Therefore, we aimed to describe the clinical courses, seizure outcomes, and risk factors of infantile-onset epilepsy followed up for more than 10 years in a tertiary center.

methodsData of the patients with epilepsy, diagnosed under the age of 12 months and followed up for more than 10 years, were retrieved from the electronic medical records of Asan Medical Center Children's Hospital. The patients' medical records were retrospectively reviewed, and clinical outcomes were assessed based on the duration of seizure freedom at the last follow-up.

resultsOf the 146 patients, 103 (70.5%) entered at least one remission, of whom epilepsy was resolved in 46 (31.5%). Forty-nine (33.6%) were found to be intractable at last contact. Delayed development, neurological deficits, and later onset (>3 months) were significantly associated with intractable epilepsies (

conclusionsThis study demonstrated that many patients with infantile-onset epilepsy can experience seizure remission. However, in some cases, early onset epilepsy was highly associated with various comorbidities and intractable seizures. Therefore, appropriate diagnosis and treatment are necessary to prevent further neuropsychiatric complications.
