When should we obtain a routine EEG while managing people with epilepsy?
Review in Epilepsy & behavior reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
More than eight decades after its discovery, routine electroencephalogram (EEG) remains a safe, noninvasive, inexpensive, bedside test of neurological function. Knowing when a routine EEG should be obtained while managing people with epilepsy is a critical aspect of optimal care. Despite advances in neuroimaging techniques that aid diagnosis of structural lesions in the central nervous system, EEG continues to provide critical diagnostic evidence with implications on treatment. A routine EEG performed after a first unprovoked seizure can support a clinical diagnosis of epilepsy and differentiate those without epilepsy, classify an epilepsy syndrome to impart prognosis, and characterize seizures for antiseizure management. Despite a current viral pandemic, EEG services continue, and the value of routine EEG is unchanged.
