Postictal status and clinical variables in adults with epilepsy.
Article in Arquivos de neuro-psiquiatria, 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
Symptoms in the postictal period are often neglected by professionals and patients/family members.To relate the characteristics of the postictal period with the clinical variables of adult patients with epilepsy.Prospectively, the clinical characteristics of the postictal period were related to the clinical variables and the scores on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) of 70 patients with epilepsy.The mean age was 47.6 years old, and 34 (48.6%) patients were male, the mean age at onset of epilepsy was 20.3 years old, the epileptic syndrome was structural in 48 cases, the mean score in the MMSE was 23.6, the mean score in the HADS-anxiety was 7.3, and in the HADS-depression it was 5.6. Postictal manifestation occurred in 59 (84.2%) cases, with prolonged duration in 22 (37.2%) cases. There was a difference in the duration and presence of postictal manifestation according to age at the onset of epilepsy. Higher HADS-anxiety scores were associated with the presence of confusion in the postictal period (t-test; 9.3 ± 6.8 versus 5.8 ± 4.8;
