The Temporal Lobe as a Symptomatogenic Zone in Medial Parietal Lobe Epilepsy.
Review in Frontiers in neurology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Some surgical failures after temporal lobe epilepsy surgery may be due to the presence of an extratemporal epileptogenic zone. Of particular interest is the medial parietal lobe due to its robust connectivity with mesial temporal structures. Seizures in that area may be clinically silent before propagating to the symptomatogenic temporal lobe. In this paper, we present an overview of the anatomical connectivity, semiology, radiology, electroencephalography, neuropsychology, and outcomes in medial parietal lobe epilepsy. We also present two illustrative cases of seizures originating from the precuneus and the posterior cingulate cortex. We conclude that the medial parietal lobe should be strongly considered for sampling by intracranial electrodes in individuals with nonlesional temporal lobe epilepsy, especially if scrutinizing the presurgical data produces discordant findings.
