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

Radiosurgery (RS) has proven to be an effective alternative for the treatment of intracranial neoplasms, arteriovenous malformations, and functional conditions such as epilepsy. Regarding the latter, palliative epilepsy surgery involving corpus callosum disconnection by RS has been shown to be as effective as its surgical counterpart in terms of seizure reduction. However, adverse effects derived from radiation-induced neurotoxicity in the target area may occasionally occur, with radionecrosis (RN) being one of the main causes of morbidity after RS. This paper presents the case of a female patient diagnosed with refractory epilepsy who developed an extensive heterogeneous lesion evident on MRI studies months after undergoing callosotomy by RS.
