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

Manifestation of abnormal excessive synchronous cortical activity, which is what defines epileptic seizures, is typically absent in seizures with psychological etiology, a heterogeneous set of factors that have been identified. Distinguishing psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) from epileptic seizures may be difficult at the bedside. We report a case series of PNES which presented with diagnostic dilemma. Diagnostic delay of years with PNES is common. The exact choice of treatment is often difficult and should be based on individual differences in the underlying factors. Outcome can be measured in terms of seizure occurrence (frequency, severity), but other measures might be of greater importance for the patient. Prognosis is varied but studies consistently report that 1/3
