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

Cenobamate (CNB) is an antiseizure medication (ASM) approved for the treatment of focal epilepsy. Rash and edema are uncommon adverse effects of this medication. We report two patients with medically refractory epilepsy (MRE) who received CNB and developed chest and facial rash and edema after the initial dose of 12.5 mg/d that prompted discontinuation of the medication with ensuing resolution of the rash and edema. Rechallenging with CNB resulted in similar reactions. Our report aims at increasing awareness of these reactions to CNB.
