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

Interictal spikes and high-frequency oscillations (HFOs, ripples: 80-200 ​Hz, fast ripples: 250-500 ​Hz) occur in epileptic patients and in animal models of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE). In this study, we explored how type 1 and type 2 interictal spikes as well as ripples and fast ripples evolve during the latent period in the hippocampus of pilocarpine-treated mice. Depth EEG recordings were obtained from the hippocampus CA3 subfield of adult male mice (n ​= ​5, P60-P100) starting one day before pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus up to the first spontaneous seizure, the so-called latent period. We found that rates of type 1 (n ​= ​1 655) and type 2 (n ​= ​2 309) interictal spikes were significantly lower during the late phase of the latent period compared to its early and mid phase (p ​< ​0.001). However, rates of type 1 spikes associated with ripples (n ​= ​266) or fast ripples (n ​= ​106), as well as rates of type 2 interictal spikes associated with ripples (n ​= ​233), were significantly higher during the late phase compared to the early and mid phases (p ​< ​0.05). Our findings reveal that an increase of type 1 interictal spikes co-occurring with ripples or fast ripples and an increase of type 2 interictal spikes co-occurring with ripples mark the end of the latent period. We propose that changes in the occurrence of interictal spike associated with HFOs represent a biomarker of epileptogenicity in this mouse model of MTLE.
