Epilepsy and Placebo: A Literature Review.
Review in Neurologic clinics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Epilepsy is a widespread neurologic illness with high morbidity. Further treatments are needed to limit ongoing injury. To demonstrate effectiveness of new treatments, randomized controlled trials comparing adjuvant treatment to placebo are used. Larger placebo response limits trial sensitivity to an effective drug. Placebo also influences many other aspects of epilepsy, including intracranial electroencephalography, nocebo, device treatments, among others. Recent advances in modeling suggest that a true placebo effect in epilepsy treatment trials is possibly nil and that placebo response may be due to natural fluctuation alone, although further studies are necessary.
