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

In drug-resistant epilepsy, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a central role in detecting lesions as it offers unmatched spatial resolution and whole-brain coverage. In addition, the last decade has witnessed continued developments in MRI-based computer-aided machine-learning techniques for improved diagnosis and prognosis. In this review, we focus on automated algorithms for the detection of hippocampal sclerosis and focal cortical dysplasia, particularly in cases deemed as MRI negative, with an emphasis on studies with histologically validated data. In addition, we discuss imaging-derived prognostic markers, including response to anti-seizure medication, post-surgical seizure outcome, and cognitive reserves. We also highlight the advantages and limitations of these approaches and discuss future directions toward person-centered care.
