Exercise, memory, and the hippocampus: Uncovering modifiable lifestyle reserve factors in refractory epilepsy.
Article in Epilepsy & behavior reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Physical exercise is an emerging target for improving cognition in aging and neurological disease. Due to the beneficial impact of exercise on hippocampal health and the vulnerability of the hippocampus in medication-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), exercise could present a promising intervention in TLE. We investigated whether exercise engagement is associated with verbal memory function and hippocampal integrity in 29 young to middle-aged adults with refractory TLE and 21 demographically matched controls. Participants completed a self-reported questionnaire of weekly exercise, three tests of verbal memory, and a subset (
