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

Upregulation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway has been implicated in glioma-related epileptogenesis. In this retrospective analysis, epilepsy characteristics and response to treatment were evaluated in patients with gliomas harboring somatic mutation variants in PIK3CA. A cohort of 134 patients with 150 PIK3CA variants was extracted from previously validated databases. Patients with the hotspot H1047R, R88Q, E542K, and G118D variants comprised a subset (n = 41) for epilepsy phenotyping. In multivariate analysis, the presence of H1047R (n = 15) was associated with worse seizure control (p = 0.026). These results support preclinical findings and suggest that glioma PIK3CA variation may have promise as a biomarker for epilepsy severity and response to treatment.
