GAD65-positive autoimmune-associated epilepsy presenting with Ictal Hand Kissing; an uncommon presentation of a rare disease.
Article in Epilepsy & behavior reports, 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
Glutamic acid decarboxylase-65 (GAD65) is an enzyme responsible for the production of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Elevated levels of GAD65 antibodies have been recognized as a key biomarker of neurological autoimmune disorders, particularly autoimmune-associated epilepsy (AAE). We report the case of a 48-year-old woman with drug-resistant right temporal AAE, who initially developed seizures following a febrile illness accompanied by confusion. Notably, the patient exhibited rare ictal semiology involving stereotypical Ictal Hand kissing (IHK) behavior. Brain MRI revealed bilateral mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS), which was more pronounced on the right side. High serum titers of GAD65 antibodies further supported this diagnosis. This case underscores the incompletely elucidated clinical features of GAD65-positive AAE, and highlights the unique semiology of IHK behavior and its role in understanding and characterizing possible underlying epileptogenic networks.
