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

Depression is the most frequent psychiatric comorbidity in epilepsy patients with a considerable impact on quality of life and a poor prognosis for the response to pharmacological and surgical treatments. The relationship between depression and epilepsy is bidirectional, involving common pathophysiogenic mechanisms. Despite its frequency and its negative impact on the natural course of the epileptic disease, depression is still underdiagnosed and insufficiently treated in these patients. This may be due to the lack of specific training of neurologists for the detection and management of psychiatric comorbidities, or even to the atypical clinical presentation of depressive symptoms in these patients. The management of depression in epileptics is both pharmacological and non-pharmacological, the main objective being to achieve complete remission of depressive symptoms without reducing seizure threshold. This article aims to describe the epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic aspects of depression in patients with epilepsy, in the light of the most recent data in the literature.
