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

aimTo explore the emotion recognition (ER) abilities among temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) patients with different levels of depression.

methodsThis observational study was conducted during December 2021 and November 2022, including 71 healthy controls (HCs) and 93 TLE patients. Based on the scores of the Beck Depression Index, the patients were divided into four groups (no/mild/moderate/severe depression). All participants finished the Faux pas task (FPT), watched the dynamic facial expression task and recognized the emotion (anger, disgust, happiness, or sadness) with the recording of eye movements. The accuracy of ER was recorded. The percentage of fixation in interested areas (IA) and fixation counts in IA were selected and analyzed.

resultsTLE patients without depression had significantly lower FPT scores (p = 0.001) and accuracy ratios of dynamic facial ER (p = 0.039) than HCs. Patients with severe depression had significantly more fixation percentages and fixation counts in the nose than patients with no/mild/moderate depression (p < 0.05).

conclusionThe recording of eye movement provides more accurate and objective biobehavioral indicators for distinguishing TLE patients with severe depression, which has great practical significance for early monitoring and intervention.
