Seizure outcomes and complications associated with stereoelectroencephalography versus subdural electrodes for invasive monitoring in epilepsy surgery: a meta-analysis.

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
Introduction: Approximately 1.2% of people in the United States have epilepsy. Accurate identification of seizure origin is critical for clinical management. Yan et al. published a systematic review up to 2018 comparing SDE and SEEG (two invasive monitoring modalities) on clinical effectiveness and safety. However, meta-analysis was not performed, and multiple centers have published key SDE and SEEG data since 2018. Methods: We performed an updated literature search from Yan et al., through June 2023, of studies on patients who underwent SEEG or SDE for seizure focus localization. Inclusion criteria were: (1) randomized control trial, prospective or retrospective cohort study, or case series >5 patients, (2) at least one patient who underwent seizure focus resection, (3) outcomes of Results: An initial search resulted in 4,647 records; 81 studies were included, reflecting 3,482 SEEG and 2,816 SDE patients. Compared to SEEG, SDE exhibited similar operative time (164 vs. 185 min, Conclusion: SEEG and SDE are safe and effective modalities to localize seizure foci. SDE was associated with higher rates of subsequent resection, but infection rate was higher for SDE than SEEG.
