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

BACKGROUND/

aimKelch-like protein 11 (KLHL11)-antibody may be found in paraneoplastic neurological disorders presenting with epileptic seizures. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and clinical significance of KLHL11-antibody in epilepsy. PATIENTS AND

methodsSera of 42 pediatric and 59 adult patients with seizures of undetermined cause were screened using a cell-based assay.

resultsKLHL11-antibody was found in three of 168 control patients with paraneoplastic neurological disorders and four pediatric patients (4-8-year-old, 2 boys/2 girls) with seizures of unknown cause presenting with myoclonic-atonic epilepsy, generalized epilepsy or childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes. In these four cases, seizures continued for 2-7 months, responded promptly and favorably to conventional anti-seizure drugs and did not recur in follow-up durations ranging between 2-5 years. Patients had normal brain MRI findings and motor-mental development before and after seizures. KLHL11-antibody was not detected in adult epilepsy patients with undetermined cause, MOG antibody-positive patients and healthy controls.

conclusionKLHL11-antibody may be detected in pediatric epilepsy patients with a relatively benign disease course.
