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

This brief review summarizes presentations at the Temporal Lobe Club Special Interest Group session held in December 2022 at the American Epilepsy Society meeting. The session addressed newer methods to treat temporal epilepsy, including methods currently in clinical use and techniques under investigation. Brief summaries are provided for each of 4 lectures. Dr Chengyuan Wu discussed ablative techniques such as laser interstitial thermal ablation, radiofrequency ablation, focused ultrasound; Dr Joon Kang reviewed neuromodulation techniques including electrical stimulation and focused ultrasound; Dr Julia Makhalova discussed network effects of the aforementioned techniques; and Dr Derek Southwell reviewed inhibitory interneuron transplantation. These summaries are intended to provide a brief overview and references are provided for the reader to learn more about each topic.
