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 and Purpose: Epilepsy increases poor outcomes in patients with post-traumatic brain injury and brain tumor-related epilepsy, for whom early seizure control is essential. Perampanel (PER) was a known third-generation antiepileptic drug for treatment all types of seizures. The objective of the study is to compare clinical outcomes and safety of PER administration as monotherapy. Methods: A prospective study of all 84 patients assigned to PER monotherapy (PER group, n=36) and other first-line antiepileptic drugs (n=48). Clinical outcomes parameters were measured by the prevalence of patients with a diminish in seizure frequency at 50% in 28 days. From November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2024, comparing the PER group with usual care. Clinical outcomes included adherence rate and seizure-free proportion at 28 days and 6 months. Adverse drug reactions were recorded in both groups. Results: There was no difference in demographic data and incidence of adverse drug reactions between two groups. Median PER dosage was 4 mg (range, 2-12 mg). Compared to other antiepileptic drugs, the PER group had a prevalence of 50% responder rate at 28 days and 6 months significantly were 75%, 81%, 65%, and 51% respectively. Common adverse drug reactions were somnolence and dizziness. Conclusions: PER administration as monotherapy demonstrated good efficacy and less adverse drug reactions. Low dosages helped to decrease adverse drug reactions and improved retention rate.
