Low EEG Gamma Entropy and Glucose Hypometabolism After Corpus Callosotomy Predicts Seizure Outcome After Subsequent Surgery.

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
Background: Patients with generalized epilepsy who had lateralized EEG abnormalities after corpus callosotomy (CC) occasionally undergo subsequent surgeries to control intractable epilepsy. Objectives: This study evaluated retrospectively the combination of EEG multiscale entropy (MSE) and FDG-PET for identifying lateralization of the epileptogenic zone after CC. Methods: This study included 14 patients with pharmacoresistant epilepsy who underwent curative epilepsy surgery after CC. Interictal scalp EEG and FDG-PET obtained after CC were investigated to determine (1) whether the MSE calculated from the EEG and FDG-PET findings was lateralized to the surgical side, and (2) whether the lateralization was associated with seizure outcomes. Results: Seizure reduction rate was higher in patients with lateralized findings to the surgical side than those without (MSE: Conclusions: This study demonstrated that patients with lateralization of MSE and FDG-PET to the surgical side had better seizure outcomes. The combination of MSE and conventional FDG-PET may help to select surgical candidates for additional surgery after CC with good postoperative seizure outcomes.
