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
objectiveThere is a need to develop a comprehensive, formalized, and globally applicable epilepsy surgery curriculum in order to help standardize the quality of epilepsy surgery practice in the world.
methodsThe Epilepsy Surgery Educational Task Force of the ILAE developed a competency-based epilepsy surgery educational curriculum comprised of four domains: Diagnosis, Counseling, Pre-surgical Work-up, and Surgical Techniques. To evaluate this educational curriculum, a survey questionnaire consisting of 11 items was sent out for feedback to ILAE and IESS members. The survey questionnaire asked respondents to rate the degree of importance of each competency on a five-point scale that ranged from "extremely important" to "not at all important" and provided space for free text comments. All competencies that were rated as "slightly important" or "somewhat important" by more than 10% of responders, as well as all free text feedback comments, were fully reviewed, and the final curriculum was adjusted accordingly.
resultsOne hundred and twenty-two responses (n = 122) were submitted by the ILAE and IESS communities. Seventy-one percent (71.9%) of the responses came from neurosurgeons of varied experience and training levels. Ninety-four percent (94.4%) of responders stated that they "support a curriculum to determine the competency of neurosurgeons participating in the care of people with epilepsy in my country," and 94.3% confirmed that they "would be interested in taking or would recommend an ILAE course based on these competencies, that would provide an ILAE certificate of completion." Relevant changes within the curriculum were made based on feedback. SIGNIFICANCE: The newly developed ILAE comprehensive epilepsy surgery educational curriculum has a high level of support from neurosurgeons and neurologists around the world and shows potential for broad acceptance and implementation.
