Factors influencing quality of life in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy.

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
backgroundTemporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) predisposes individuals to cognitive difficulties and psychosocial consequences. Evaluating its impact on quality of life (QOL) is essential for patient care.
objectiveTo identify factors influencing QOL in low-income patients with TLE.
methodsAn institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 40 patients with TLE during neurological consultations at a day clinic in Agadir, Morocco. The Quality of Life in Epilepsy Inventory-31 (QOLIE-31) was used to measure QOL. Multivariate linear regression analysis was performed to assess the associations between QOL and demographic, clinical, psychiatric, social, and cognitive variables. Results were considered statistically significant at a
resultsThe mean overall QOL score was 48.14 ± 22.02. Among the seven scales of the QOLIE-31, the Seizure Worry scale had the lowest mean score. Cognitive function, social support, and self-esteem were positively associated with QOL. In contrast, memory complaints, seizure duration, seizure frequency, anxiety, and depression were negatively associated with QOL.
conclusionWhile current interventions primarily target seizure control, our findings emphasize the need for holistic approaches that address both cognitive and psychosocial challenges to optimize QOL.
