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

Sleep-related hyperkinetic seizures are a frequent symptom of frontal lobe epilepsy that occurs at night. Although temporal lobe-originating sleep-related seizures have been documented, they often lack hyperkinetic activity. Furthermore, episodic nocturnal wandering is rarely observed and is believed to represent an unusual form of nocturnal epilepsy that responds to anti-seizure medications. In this report, we present a case of a 14-year-old right-handed girl with recurrent sleepwalking and wandering. Interictal electroencephalography revealed an epileptogenic focus in the left temporal lobe and intermittent slow-wave activity originating from that region. During her nighttime wanderings, the patient exhibited unusually violent and nonviolent conduct, putting herself at risk of minor or serious injuries.
