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

A systematic review using PRISMA criteria was used to review the literature regarding the specific semiology of seizure arising (a) from the temporal pole or (b) from both medial and lateral temporal cortex. Evidence was analyzed with regard to information provided by intracranial EEG recordings and surgical outcomes, and an estimation of validity of reported signs and symptoms was performed. Semiology of seizures originating from the temporal pole was mostly related to diverse patterns of ictal spread rather than to the localization of seizure origin and comprised a wide variety of early signs and symptoms. Seizures with rapid involvement of temporo-medial and temporo-lateral cortex were intermediate in semiology between medial and lateral onset seizures and may have more frequently early automatisms and early vocalization than seizures arising from temporo-medial or temporo-lateral cortex only. Results of this review are discussed as to limiting factors of origin-based analyses for the understanding of seizure semiology.
