The surgical treatment of epilepsy.

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
In 2009, the Commission for Epilepsy Surgery of the Italian League Against Epilepsy (LICE) conducted an overview about the techniques used for the pre-surgical evaluation and the surgical treatment of epilepsies. The recognition that, in selected cases, surgery can be considered the first-line approach, suggested that the experience gained by the main Italian referral centers should be pooled in order to provide a handy source of reference. In light of the progress made over these past years, some parts of that first report have accordingly been updated. The present revision aims to harmonize the general principles regulating the patient selection and the pre-surgical work-up, as well as to expand the use of epilepsy surgery, that still represents an underutilized resource, regrettably. The objective of this contribution is drawing up a methodological framework within which to integrate the experiences of each group in this complex and dynamic sector of the neurosciences.
