Surgical cure of intractable epilepsy caused by retained intracranial foreign body under cortical electroencephalography monitoring: case report and literature review.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Post-Traumatic Epilepsy is a common and severe complication following brain trauma. However, there are few reports on intractable epilepsy caused by retained foreign bodies. This article reports a case of a patient with a metal foreign body retained in the cranium for 20 years due to trauma, resulting in drug-resistant epilepsy which type is focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizure. Through preoperative imaging and neurophysiological techniques, the foreign body and epileptogenic zone were precisely located. Intraoperative cortical electroencephalography monitoring was used to accurately remove the foreign body and resect the epileptogenic focus, which pathological result indicates gliosis and calcification. The intractable epilepsy was effectively controlled, and the patient experienced no seizures postoperatively.
