Functional brain connectivity in young adults with post-stroke epilepsy.
Article in Brain communications, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Approximately 1 in 10 young stroke patients (18-50 years) will develop post-stroke epilepsy, which is associated with cognitive impairment. While previous studies have shown altered brain connectivity in patients with epilepsy, little is however known about the changes in functional brain connectivity in young stroke patients with post-stroke epilepsy and their relationship with cognitive impairment. Therefore, we aimed to investigate whether young ischaemic stroke patients have altered functional networks and whether this alteration is related to cognitive impairment. We included 164 participants with a first-ever cerebral infarction at young age (18-50 years), along with 77 age- and sex-matched controls, from the Follow-Up of Transient Ischemic Attack and Stroke patients and Unelucidated Risk Factor Evaluation study. All participants underwent neuropsychological testing and resting-state functional MRI to generate functional connectivity networks. At follow-up (10.5 years after the index event), 23 participants developed post-stroke epilepsy. Graph theoretical analysis revealed functional network reorganization in participants with post-stroke epilepsy, in whom a weaker (i.e. network strength), less-integrated (i.e. global efficiency) and less-segregated (i.e. clustering coefficient and local efficiency) functional network was observed compared with the participants without post-stroke epilepsy group and the controls (
