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

backgroundThe study aimed to develop a model and build a nomogram to predict the probability of drug resistance in people with post-stroke epilepsy (PSE).

methodsSubjects with epilepsy secondary to ischemic stroke or spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage were included. The study outcome was the occurrence of drug-resistant epilepsy defined according to International League Against Epilepsy criteria.

resultsOne hundred and sixty-four subjects with PSE were included and 32 (19.5%) were found to be drug-resistant. Five variables were identified as independent predictors of drug resistance and were included in the nomogram: age at stroke onset (odds ratio (OR): 0.941, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.907-0.977), intracerebral hemorrhage (OR: 6.292, 95% CI 1.957-20.233), severe stroke (OR: 4.727, 95% CI 1.573-14.203), latency of PSE (>12 months, reference; 7-12 months, OR: 4.509, 95% CI 1.335-15.228; 0-6 months, OR: 99.099, 95% CI 14.873-660.272), and status epilepticus at epilepsy onset (OR: 14.127, 95% CI 2.540-78.564). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the nomogram was 0.893 (95% CI: 0.832-0.956).

conclusionsGreat variability exists in the risk of drug resistance in people with PSE. A nomogram based on a set of readily available clinical variables may represent a practical tool for an individualized prediction of drug-resistant PSE.
