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

The ILAE classification of Focal Cortical Dysplasia (FCD) from 2011 has quickly gained acceptance in clinical practice and research and is now widely used around the world. This histopathology-based classification scheme proposed three subtypes, that is, FCD Type 1 (with architectural abnormalities of the neocortex), FCD Type 2 (with cytoarchitectural abnormalities of the neocortex) and FCD Type 3 (architectural abnormalities of the neocortex associated with another principle lesion acquired during early life). Valuable knowledge was gathered during the last decade validating the clinical, pathological and genetic classification of FCD Type 2. This is in contrast to FCD subtype 1 and 3 with only few robust or new insights. Herein, we provide an overview about current knowledge about FCD Type 1 and its three subtypes. Available data strengthened, however, FCD Type 1A in particular, whereas a comprehensive clinico-pathological specification for FCD Type 1B and 1C subtypes remain to be shown. The lack of a valid animal model for FCD Type 1 further supports our call and the ongoing need for systematic research studies based on a careful clinico-pathological and genetic stratification of patients and human brain tissues.
