Trauma and health-related quality of life in patients with functional seizures.
Article in Seizure, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
purposeTo assess the relationship between adverse life events and health-related quality of life in patients with functional seizures.
methodsWe recruited and consented patients with functional seizures who were admitted to the epilepsy monitoring unit and asked them to complete the Life Event Checklist for DSM-5 (LEC-5) and the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) to evaluate adverse life events and health-related quality of life, respectively. Additional variables were collected with a retrospective chart review. A multiple linear regression model was used to evaluate independent predictors of health-related quality of life.
resultsA total of 97 patients were included, and 98 % identified at least 1 adverse life event that was either witnessed or personally experienced. Health-related quality of life was poor compared to the general population. An increased number of types of witnessed or personally experienced adverse life events were associated with a worse mental component summary score and older age was associated with a worse physical component summary score. A longer duration of time with FS was associated with a better mental component summary score which may reflect some degree of adaptation or improved coping skills that developed over time.
conclusionOur study found that an increased burden of adverse life events in patients with functional seizures impacts health-related quality of life. These findings may have treatment and resource allocation implications.
