Women With Genetic Epilepsies.
Review in Neurology. Genetics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Some epilepsy syndromes are more common in female individuals. Often, these syndromes have an underlying genetic variant involving the X chromosome that is typically lethal in male individuals, resulting in a higher female prevalence. However, some of the idiopathic generalized epilepsies such as juvenile myoclonic epilepsy are conditions with complex inheritance, with thousands of variants in genes throughout the genome. But they can also have a predominance in female individuals. In this study, we performed a narrative review of PubMed and Scopus using the following entries: "epilepsy in women," "genetic epilepsy in female individuals," "epilepsy genetics in women," "female-specific epilepsy genetics," "epilepsy and genetic mutations in female individuals." The findings were synthesized and described according to clinical characteristics, underlying genetic mechanisms, and treatment considerations for these epilepsy syndromes manifesting largely in female individuals. The epilepsy syndromes reviewed here include Rett syndrome,
