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

Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) are nonepileptic events characterized by seizure-like manifestations without abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Our case report illustrates the diagnostic journey of a young female with a history of schizophrenia and childhood trauma who had an initial misdiagnosis of epilepsy. The etiology of PNES is complex. Major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder are common comorbid conditions in these patients. Additionally, previous trauma has been linked as a predisposing factor for the development of PNES. Psychotic disorders, specifically schizophrenia, have only recently been associated with PNES. We explore this relationship in depth, while also underscoring the diagnostic and treatment challenges of PNES that clinicians must remain aware of.
