How fast does the brain recover after an epileptic seizure?
Article in Annals of clinical and translational neurology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
The postictal state, an abnormal cerebral condition following a seizure until the return to the interictal baseline, is frequently overlooked, despite often exceeding ictal duration and significantly impacting patients' lives. This study analyzes stereo-EEG (SEEG) signal dynamics using permutation entropy to quantify recovery time (postictal alteration time - PAT) in focal epilepsy and its clinical correlations. The average PAT was 4.5 min, extending up to an hour and was highest in temporal epilepsy and hippocampal sclerosis. Correlating with age at seizure onset and at SEEG, PAT provides a solution for operationally defining the postictal state and guiding interventions.
