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

objectiveThis study aims to compare the styles of coping with stress between patients with epilepsy and healthy individuals and to examine the effects of clinical features on methods of coping with stress.

methodsThe study enrolled 120 patients diagnosed with epilepsy. Forty healthy individuals were included as control group. Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of the patients were recorded. The patients and controls completed the Coping Strategies with Stress Inventory (COPE), which comprises 60 items distributed into 15 scales. The COPE scores of the patients and controls were compared.

resultsComparing the COPE scores of the patients and controls, the substance use score was higher in the controls. In terms of gender, seeking instrumental social support, active coping, seeking emotional social support, acceptance, and emotion-focused total coping scores were higher in women among patients. In terms of marital status, the positive reinterpretation and growth score of single patients was significantly higher than that of married patients. In patients with a history of febrile convulsions, the active coping, seeking emotional social support, and denial scores were higher. In terms of treatment, for the patients receiving polytherapy, the suppression of competing activities, focus on and venting of emotions, and dysfunctional total coping scores were higher than in patients receiving monotherapy.

conclusionEpilepsy and stress are intertwined conditions. Epilepsy patients, confronted with stress, avoided using alcohol and substances compared to healthy individuals. There were differences among epilepsy patients according to gender, marital status, febrile convulsion history, number of medications, and approaches to coping with stress.
