Factors influencing quality of life in extratemporal lobe epilepsy and mesial temporal lobe epilepsy: a cross-sectional study using medical records.

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
Objective: This study aimed to examine differences in factors influencing quality of life (QOL) in people with extratemporal lobe epilepsy (ETLE) and mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE). Methods: We obtained data from the medical records of 84 (47 ETLE and 37 MTLE) people with epilepsy. The data included age, sex, employment, seizure frequency, number of antiseizure medication (ASM), Neurological Disorders Depression Inventory for Epilepsy (NDDI-E) score, and Quality of Life in Epilepsy Inventory-31 (QOLIE-31) score. Multiple regression analyses were performed using QOLIE-31 as the dependent variable and age, sex, employment, seizure frequency, number of ASM, and NDDI-E score as the independent variables in ETLE or MTLE. Results: From the results of the multiple regression analyses, QOLIE-31 in ETLE was associated with NDDI-E ( Conclusion: Overall, our findings indicate that the number of ASMs is potentially an influence on QOL of MTLE but similar effect is not observed in ETLE.
