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

purpose of reviewSocial cognition, especially theory of mind (ToM), is often impaired in clinical populations including epilepsy, with serious consequences for quality of life. This review synthesizes evidence from clinical assessments, neuroimaging, and intracranial recording techniques to examine how social cognitive processes are represented in the human brain and how they may be disrupted in epilepsy. Emphasis is placed on the emerging contributions of intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) and intracranial electrical stimulation (iES) to this field. RECENT

findingsWhile the literature using iEEG/iES to investigate social cognition remains limited, recent studies have begun to map the spatiotemporal and causal underpinnings of ToM and related functions. This work complements behavioral and fMRI findings and suggests avenues for translational research. Intracranial techniques represent a promising tool for advancing social cognitive neuroscience. Integrating this approach with clinical data and established behavioral paradigms can enhance our understanding of social cognition and improve care for populations with focal epilepsy.
