Interictal waking and sleep electrophysiological properties of the thalamus in focal epilepsies.
Article in Brain communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Epilepsy is a cortico-subcortical network disease. Thalamo-cortical relationships in focal epilepsies, studied by stereoelectroencephalography in complex patients during pre-surgical evaluation, might help refine epilepsy surgery prognostic indicators and patient-specific treatments (i.e. thalamic deep brain stimulation). To this aim, we studied interictal thalamic traces, during rest and sleep recordings, in a cohort of 121 patients, delving into thalamo-cortical connectivity, hyperexcitability biomarkers and their correlation with treatment outcome. We retrospectively gathered stereoelectroencephalography recordings and clinical variables from patients who underwent stereoelectroencephalography with mainly a posterior-thalamic implantation, aiming at the pulvinar. Interictal recordings during rest and sleep were analysed to detect spikes and fast ripples automatically. Functional connectivity between the thalamus and other brain regions (involved or non-involved in the epileptogenic network) was examined using linear regression analysis. Higher thalamic hyperexcitability biomarker rates during sleep were linked to unfavourable surgical outcomes (Engel Class III/IV) compared to favourable outcomes (Engel Class I/II) (spikes:
