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

The responsive neurostimulator system has become increasingly popular in the surgical management of refractory epilepsy, with targeting of various thalamic nuclei showing promising results in select patients. A 42-year-old female presented for evaluation of refractory epilepsy consisting of generalized tonic-clonic and focal seizures with preserved awareness. Phase I and II monitoring suggested multifocal bilateral epilepsy with bilateral frontal onset, and the patient underwent robot-guided bilateral centromedian thalamic placement of the RNS System. In this operative video, the authors share their institutional experience and protocol utilizing the ExcelsiusGPS robot in the placement of the RNS System in the thalamus.
