[Efficacy of zonisamide in Lafora's disease case and brief review of its use in progressive myoclonic epilepsy].
Review in Revista de neurologia, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionMioclonic progressive epilepsy (MPE) includes a clinical and genetical heterogeneous group of neuro-degenerative disorders that associate spontaneous and action-induced myoclonus as well as progressive cognitive impairment. Lafora`s disease is a subtype of MPE with autosomical recessive inheritance due to a mutation in EPM2A or EPM2B genes. Seizures, especially myoclonus, are often refractary to antiepileptic drugs (AD). CASE REPORT: In this article we report a patient with Lafora´s disease diagnosis, previously resistant to several AD tested with good and sustained response to zonisamide. Indeed, we describe a brief review about the efficacy of zonisamida in MPE.
conclusionZonisamide may be considered as a good therapeutic alternative in MPE.
