Predictors of seizure outcomes in patients with diffuse low-grade glioma-related epilepsy after complete glioma removal.

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
aimsWe aimed to identify predictors of postoperative seizures in patients with diffuse low-grade glioma (DLGG)-related epilepsy after complete tumor resection in this study.
methodsWe retrospectively collected data from individuals with DLGG-related epilepsy whose tumors were completely resected at Xiangya Hospital, Central South University between January 2014 and January 2020. The predictors of seizure outcomes were assessed by employing univariate analysis and a multivariate logistic regression model in a backward binary logistic regression model.
resultsAmong the 118 cases that met the inclusion criteria, 83.05% were seizure-free following an average follow-up of 4.27 ± 1.65 years, all of whom were classified as International League Against Epilepsy class I outcome. Univariate and multivariate analyses indicated that seizure duration of >6 years (odds ratio [OR], 6.62; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.76-24.98; p = 0.005) and first clinical symptoms other than seizures (OR, 4.51; 95% CI, 1.43-14.23; p = 1.010) were both independent predictors of unfavorable seizure outcomes.
conclusionOur results imply that satisfactory seizure outcomes can be achieved in most patients with DLGG-related epilepsy after complete tumor resection. Patients with seizure duration of >6 years or first clinical symptoms other than seizures were more likely to experience postoperative seizure recurrence.
