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

This case study examines how an intervention of infra-low frequency neurofeedback training (ILF-NFT) affects the symptomatology of an eight-year-old patient with Dravet syndrome (DS), a rare and highly disabling form of epilepsy. Our results demonstrate that ILF-NFT has improved the patient's sleep disturbance, has significantly reduced seizure frequency and severity, and has reversed neurodevelopmental decline, with positive development in intellectual and motor skills. No significant changes have been made to the patient's medication in the observed period of 2.5 years. Thus, we draw attention to ILF-NFT as a promising intervention in addressing DS symptomatology. Finally, we discuss the study's methodological limitations and warrant future studies to assess the effect of ILF-NFT in DS in more elaborate research designs.
