Single center outcomes of intracranial evaluation and surgical intervention in the elderly population.
Article in Epilepsy & behavior reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objective: The object of this case series is to report the effectiveness and complication rates of presurgical evaluation and surgical treatment among elderly epilepsy patients in our clinic. Methods: We reviewed patients charts from 2016 to 2020 and identified patients over the age of 55 years of age who underwent intracranial EEG, resection, and device placement. We compared the complications and post-intervention outcomes of 14 different patients. Results: The mean age of patients was 63.6 ± 4.13 years, and 6 (42.9 %) patients were female. 8 (57.1 %) patients underwent intracranial evaluation; 6 patients underwent SEEG, and 2 patients underwent SDE placement. 5/11 (45 %) patients reached seizure freedom with at least one year follow-up. Discussion: Intracranial evaluation could play an important role in the success of surgical intervention in the elderly epilepsy population. Prospective, multicenter studies are needed to determine the ideal candidate for a safe and effective intracranial evaluation and resection.
