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 AND

objectivesWe report the recording of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) in a 68-year-old man with recent onset cryptogenic epilepsy, captured by video-EEG monitoring, at home in the company of his wife while sitting in a chair. This was only the third seizure of his life, the first 2 occurring 19 days previously. This rare event is a novel case of SUDEP recorded with ambulatory video EEG at home. The video is included by permission.

methodsElectroclinical seizure and cardiorespiratory analysis was ascertained using a combination of video, EEG (Natus, standard 10-20 electrode), ECG, and sound. Respiratory rate was ascertained based on chest, abdominal, and facial respiratory movements, together with video and audio.

resultsThe unique video-EEG recording illustrates the time course of apnea and bradycardia leading to terminal apnea in conjunction with prolonged postictal generalized EEG suppression. DISCUSSION: This case is illustrative of a wide spectrum of SUDEP cases, ranging from the highly intractable to the patient with newly diagnosed epilepsy with very few seizures. It illustrates that patients can succumb to SUDEP while awake and in the sitting position (1) very early in their epilepsy course, (2) without recognized risk factors other than generalized convulsive seizures, (3) even when accompanied.
