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

Background: There has been no clear consensus on the clinical markers to distinguish alcohol-related seizures (ARSs) from epileptic seizures. We have reported the usefulness of gamma oscillation (30-70 Hz) regularity (GOR) analysis using interictal electroencephalography (EEG) data to evaluate epileptogenic focus. We conducted interictal GOR analysis using scalp EEG and susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) to visualize the epileptogenic focus in two cases initially suspected to have ARS. Case Description: In each case, a significantly high GOR area suggestive of epileptogenic focus was detected and that area was consistent with that where SWI showed hemosiderin deposit. In one patient, seizures were well controlled with the introduction of anti-seizure medication (ASM). In another patient, ASM was introduced but is refractory, and epilepsy surgery is being considered in the future. Conclusion: The interictal GOR analysis and SWI can successfully contribute to identify the patients suspected to have ARS who may have epileptogenic focus and can be treated with ASM and epilepsy surgery.
