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
Background: Drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) patients exhibit aberrant large-scale brain networks. Objective: The purpose of investigation is to explore the differences in resting-state electroencephalogram (EEG) microstates between patients with DRE and well-controlled (W-C) epilepsy. Design: Retrospective study. Methods: Clinical data of epilepsy patients treated at the Epilepsy Center of Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from January 2020 to May 2023 were collected for a minimum follow-up period of 2 years. Participants meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria were categorized into two groups based on follow-up records: W-C group and DRE group. To ensure that the recorded EEG data were not influenced by medication, all EEG recordings were collected before patients commenced any antiepileptic drug treatment. Resting-state EEG datasets of all participants underwent microstate analysis. This study comprehensively compared the average duration, frequency per second, coverage, and transition probabilities (TPs) of each microstate between the two groups. Results: A total of 289 individuals who met the criteria were included, categorized into the W-C group ( Conclusion: This study highlights distinctive EEG microstate parameters and TPs in DRE patients compared to those with W-C epilepsy. The results may potentially advance the clinical application of EEG microstates.
