Focal Cortical Dysplasia Type Ⅲ Related Medically Refractory Epilepsy: MRI Findings and Potential Predictors of Surgery Outcome.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
This study aims to explore the relationship between neuropathologic and the post-surgical prognosis of focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) typed-Ⅲ-related medically refractory epilepsy. A total of 266 patients with FCD typed-Ⅲ-related medically refractory epilepsy were retrospectively studied. Presurgical clinical data, type of surgery, and postsurgical seizure outcome were analyzed. The minimum post-surgical follow-up was 1 year. A total of 266 patients of FCD type Ⅲ were included in this study and the median follow-up time was 30 months (range, 12~48 months). Age at onset ranged from 1.0 years to 58.0 years, with a median age of 12.5 years. The number of patients under 12 years old was 133 (50%) in patients with FCD type Ⅲ. A history of febrile seizures was present in 42 (15.8%) cases. In the entire postoperative period, 179 (67.3%) patients were seizure-free. Factors with
