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

Although perampanel (PER) has received approval as an antiseizure medication, reports quantifying its antiseizure effects using electroencephalography (EEG) remain scarce. In a previous study, we demonstrated that the interictal high gamma oscillation regularity (GOR) on scalp EEG is an excellent marker of epileptogenicity. Herein, we investigated whether the antiseizure effect of PER could be quantified through interictal GOR analysis of scalp EEG data. To investigate this, we examined the interictal GOR from 20 s of scalp EEG data before and after PER administration collected from five patients with epilepsy with focal seizures. Prior to PER administration, each patient presented with localized areas with high GOR consistent with brain lesions or seizure semiology. In all patients, the seizures improved following PER administration, and the localized high GOR, which is considered an epileptogenic focus, disappeared. These results indicate that interictal GOR analysis may be a useful tool for the quantitative assessments of the antiseizure effects of PER in focal epilepsy. PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY: This study explored whether perampanel (PER)'s antiseizure effects can be quantified using interictal high gamma oscillation regularity (GOR) analysis from scalp EEG data. Analyzing 20-second EEG segments before and after PER administration in five patients with focal epilepsy, we found that high GOR areas, indicative of epileptogenic foci, disappeared following PER administration. The results suggest that interictal GOR analysis could effectively quantify the antiseizure effects of PER.
