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

The ILAE Neuroimaging Task Force aims to publish educational case reports that highlight basic aspects of neuroimaging in epilepsy consistent with the ILAE's educational mission. Here, we describe a case series of three neonates with focal cortical dysplasia (FCD)-related drug-resistant epilepsy who underwent surgical intervention. The purpose of this series is to demonstrate the difficulties of identifying FCD in this age group and to highlight the potential added value of arterial spin labeling MRI for delineation of the epileptogenic zone. This series also supports the importance of the 2019 ILAE recommendations for structural imaging in epilepsy, the 2009 ILAE recommendations on imaging infants and children with recent-onset epilepsy, and the 2022 ILAE consensus classification of FCD.
