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

Objective: This study investigated the differences in semiological characteristics of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) between children and adult populations, specifically examining the impact of age on these manifestations. Using multivariate analysis, this study assessed the influence of age on TLE clinical manifestations, including seizure complexity, while controlling for etiology and lesion location. Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed clinical data from patients who underwent anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL) and achieved seizure-free at Sanbo Brain Hospital. Semiological features were analyzed using video-electroencephalogram (video-EEG) recordings. Following descriptive analysis of clinical characteristics and seizure symptom differences between children and adult cohorts, univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate associations between clinical variables and specific seizure components. Results: A total of 176 patients (39 children and 137 adults) who underwent ATL and achieved seizure-free status met the inclusion criteria for this study. Significant differences were observed between children and adults in the incidence of: auras ( Significance: This study demonstrates significant age-dependent differences in semiological manifestations of TLE, suggesting that age-related neurodevelopmental changes underlie distinct seizure patterns. These findings support age-specific treatment strategies, as age affects TLE seizure patterns and clinical management decisions.
