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

backgroundLow-grade gangliogliomas (GGs) are typically epileptogenic intracranial neoplasms. Yet, the presentation of simplex vertiginous experience and spontaneous downbeat nystagmus (DBN) has not been reported to date. CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of a 26-year-old male with focal onset impaired awareness seizures, characterized by vertigo due to right temporal lobe epilepsy caused by ganglioglioma. As rare presentations, a spontaneous, consistent DBN in the absence of vertiginous experience was noticed. MRI suggested lesion in the right temporal pole. Twenty-four-hour continuous electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring recorded periodic sharp and slow waves, originating from the right temporal lobe. The patient was completely relieved of the symptoms after surgical removal of the tumor, which was histologically confirmed as Grade I Ganglioglioma.

conclusionsAsides from the cortical pathogenesis of epileptic vertigo, this case also provides insight into the DBN secondary to tumor of the temporal lobe. Moreover, the 24-h EEG is advantageous to recognize vestibular seizures and localize the ictal onset areas.
