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

Dendrites are tree-like structures with tiny spines specialized to receive excitatory synaptic transmission. Spino-dendritic plasticity, driven by neural activity, underlies the maintenance of neuronal connections crucial for proper circuit function. Abnormalities in dendritic morphology are frequently seen in epilepsy. However, the exact etiology or functional implications are not yet known. Therefore, to better comprehend the structure-function significance of this dendritic pathology in epilepsy, it is necessary to identify the common spino-dendritic disturbances present in both human and experimental models. Here, we describe the dendritic and spine structural profiles found across human refractory epilepsy as well as in animal models of developmental, acquired, and genetic epilepsies.
