Prospective multicenter cohort study of possible psychogenic nonepileptic seizure cases-Results at 1-year follow-up examinations.

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
objectiveThe primary purpose of this prospective multicenter study was to examine clinical and demographic feature differences according to the diagnostic level of psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) and then clarify whether prognosis may also differ accordingly.
methodsTwo hundred forty-two consecutive patients strongly suspected of having PNES attacks were invited to participate, of whom 52 did not consent or contact was lost. At the 1-year follow-up examination, PNES diagnosis was reconsidered in nine patients. In 96 patients, the diagnostic level remained the same (P-group), with that in 43 considered to be clinically established (CE-group) and in 42 documented (D-group). The Qolie-10 and NDDI-E questionnaires were examined at both the study entry and the follow-up examination.
resultsMultiple regression analysis of quality of life (QoL) score (n = 173; R SIGNIFICANCE: Clinical and the socio-psychological constellation of possible, clinically established, and documented PNES were found to differ greatly. Unexpectedly, significant effects of the continuous psychotherapeutic intervention were confirmed in PNES patients with ID.
