Independent temporal lobe epilepsy in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex.
Article in Pediatric investigation, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare disease that involves multiple organs, including the brain; approximately 80%-90% of TSC patients exhibit TSC-associated epilepsy. Independent temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), TSC-unrelated epilepsy, is particularly rare in patients with TSC. Here, we describe three patients with TSC with independent TLEs that were confirmed by stereo-electroencephalography (EEG), postoperative pathological findings, and seizure outcome at follow-up. The patients were retrospectively enrolled at two centers; their ictal epileptiform discharge onsets were determined using electrode contacts in the hippocampus during stereo-EEG. The three patients underwent anterior temporal lobectomies and remained seizure-free at 1-5 years after surgery. Postoperative pathological examinations confirmed hippocampal sclerosis in all three patients. Furthermore, postoperative intelligence quotient improvement was evident in one patient, while the quality of life was improved in two patients at 12 months after surgery.
