Redefining the practical roles of psychiatrists in epilepsy care: A framework for collaboration in Japan.
Review in PCN reports : psychiatry and clinical neurosciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Psychiatric symptoms are prevalent among people with epilepsy (PWE), yet psychiatric care remains underdeveloped in epilepsy services worldwide. Many psychiatrists lack sufficient familiarity with epilepsy, contributing to gaps in care. Japan, however, has a distinctive history where psychiatrists played a central role in epilepsy treatment, especially in managing epilepsy-related psychosis. This legacy, though fading, offers valuable insights. This review proposes a renewed framework to reestablish the psychiatrist's role in epilepsy care, informed by Japan's historical context and current global trends. The framework consists of five domains: (1) the historical relationship between psychiatry and epilepsy; (2) diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric symptoms in PWE; (3) psychosocial interventions; (4) interdisciplinary collaboration; and (5) future directions in training, research, policy, and clinical integration. While psychiatry's role in epilepsy has diminished in many countries, Japan may still retain structural and cultural foundations for reintegration. By redefining psychiatric involvement, we aim to inspire general psychiatrists and trainees to engage with epilepsy care. Reaffirming the psychiatric perspective is essential for delivering comprehensive, patient-centered care to PWE.
