Psychosis in Epilepsy vs Late-Onset Schizophrenia: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Psychotic disorders can have a primary or secondary origin. Primary psychosis includes pathologies such as paranoid schizophrenia, acute psychotic episodes, schizoaffective disorder, and other chronic psychiatric disorders. However, in secondary psychosis, there is an organic cause that explains the appearance of psychotic symptoms, such as those secondary to the consumption of psychoactive substances or some neurological or systemic diseases. Psychosis in epilepsy falls under secondary psychosis. It may present as hallucinations and delirium reminiscent of some primary psychoses such as schizophrenia. We present the case of a 57-year-old female suffering from temporal lobe epilepsy who developed psychotic symptoms and whose definitive diagnosis was a challenge given the similarities between some alternative diagnoses, mainly between interictal psychosis of epilepsy and late-onset schizophrenia. We also review the relevant literature. We consider that more studies are required to clarify the relationship between epilepsy and psychosis.
