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

backgroundMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) changes in hippocampal sclerosis (HS) could be subtle in a significant proportion of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE) patients. In this study, we aimed to document the structural and functional changes in the hippocampus and amygdala seen in HS patients.

methodsQuantitative features of the hippocampus and amygdala were extracted from structural MRI data in 66 mTLE patients and 28 controls. Structural covariance analysis was undertaken using volumetric data from the amygdala and hippocampus. Functional connectivity (FC) measured using resting intracranial electroencephalography (EEG) was analyzed in 22 HS patients and 16 non-HS disease controls.

resultsHippocampal atrophy was present in both MRI-positive and MRI-negative HS groups (Mann-Whitney

conclusionsQuantitative structural changes, including hippocampal atrophy and temporal pole blurring, are present in both MRI-positive and MRI-negative HS patients, suggesting the potential usefulness of incorporating quantitative analyses into clinical practice. HS is characterized by increased intra-hippocampal EEG synchronization and decreased coupling between the hippocampus and amygdala.
