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

aimsTo predict the progression of children with self-limited epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (SeLECTS) to epileptic encephalopathy with spike-and-wave activation in sleep (EE-SWAS).

methodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of early clinical and electroencephalography (EEG) data. Clinical parameters included demographic and epilepsy-related characteristics. EEG were qualitatively (localization, lateralization, synchrony, non-Rolandic discharges, nondipole spikes, multiple spikes, focal slow-wave activity) and quantitatively (spike-wave index [SWI], spike-wave frequency [SWF], power spectral density [PSD], phase-locking value [PLV], phase lag index [PLI], weighted phase lag index [wPLI], characteristic path length [CPL], clustering coefficient [CC], small-worldness [Sigma]) analyzed. A logistic regression-based prediction model was further formulated and evaluated.

resultsThis study included 50 children with seizure-free typical SeLECTS and 76 who developed EE-SWAS. Multivariable logistic regression revealed that early EEG features-SWF, relative PSD in the alpha band, wPLI and CPL in the delta band-were associated with the risk of encephalopathic transformation. The model demonstrated good performance with an area under the curve of 0.817 (95% confidence interval 0.736-0.898). The model showed a good fit and clinical benefit.

conclusionInitial quantitative EEG characteristics of SeLECTS can predict the development of EE-SWAS, suggesting distinct disease characteristics and pathogeneses in children at risk of encephalopathic transformation.
