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

Background: Perampanel (PER) is effective in treating focal and generalised seizures. The PERaMpanel pooled analysIs of effecTiveness and tolerability (PERMIT) Extension study was a large, pooled analysis of PER clinical practice studies that assessed the effectiveness and safety/tolerability of PER in over 6800 people with epilepsy. Objectives: To determine clinical factors associated with PER retention, response, seizure freedom and tolerability when used in clinical practice. Design: An exploratory post hoc analysis of data from all individuals included in PERMIT Extension. Methods: Univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify baseline factors associated with retention rate, responder rate (⩾50% seizure frequency reduction), seizure freedom rate (no seizures since at least the previous visit) and incidence of adverse events (AEs). Results: A total of 6822 people with epilepsy treated with PER were included. Baseline factors associated with retention were absence of psychiatric comorbidity (odds ratio [95% confidence interval], 1.99 [1.403-2.825]; Conclusion: This study identified clinical factors associated with PER's real-world effectiveness and tolerability, which may help inform treatment decisions in clinical practice.
