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

Purpose of Review: Paroxysmal nonepileptic events (PNEEs) are a heterogenous group of time-limited events, characterized by changes in motor or behavioral activity beginning abruptly and ending in a short time. Owing to their manifestation, these conditions can clinically simulate seizures. Recent Findings: These episodes belong to different categories, including syncopal events, psychiatric disorders, and movement disorders. PNEEs are a common cause of diagnostic mistakes and families' concerns, and the risk of useless and sometimes even injurious treatment is considerable. The high frequency of these manifestations in clinical practice makes PNEEs a diagnostic challenge for clinicians. Summary: This review is focused on the distinctive clinical findings and treatment of PNEEs. Illustrative video recordings of the PNEEs and a video collection as a support tool for differential diagnosis are provided.
