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

Viral infection of the central nervous system increasingly places people at risk of developing life-threatening and treatment-resistant acute and chronic seizures (epilepsy). The emergence of new human viruses due to ongoing social, political, and ecological changes places people at risk more than ever before. The development of new preventative or curative strategies is critical to address this burden. However, our understanding of the complex relationship between viruses and the brain has been hindered by the lack of animal models that survive the initial infection and are amenable for long-term mechanistic, behavioral, and pharmacological studies in the process of viral-induced epileptogenesis. In this review, we focus on the Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV) mouse model of viral infection-induced epilepsy. The TMEV model has a number of important advantages to address the quintessential processes underlying the development of epilepsy following a viral infection, as well as fuel new therapeutic development. In this review, we highlight the contributions of the TMEV model to our current understanding of the relationship between viral infection, inflammation, and seizures.
