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

Corpus callosotomy (CC) has been reported to be effective in reducing generalized seizures in patients with drug-resistant epilepsies. However, efficacy is measured only by seizure frequency, without any electrophysiological guidance. Herein, we conducted a quantitative analysis of interhemispheric functional connectivity using inter-electrode coherence of scalp electroencephalogram (EEG) in a clinical case of subcortical band heterotopia to evaluate its relationship with seizure frequency. In our case, seizure frequency decreased significantly after posterior CC but not after anterior CC. Inter-electrode coherence also decreased after posterior CC, suggesting it correlated with seizure frequency. This case study supports the use of inter-electrode coherence as an electrophysiological tool that is useful as predictive factor in evaluating the effectiveness of CC.
