WONOEP XVII appraisal: The immunopathogenesis of epilepsy.
Review in Epilepsia, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
There is a wealth of data indicating that the immune system plays an important role in seizure disorders. This includes autoimmune encephalitis, in which an immune response directed against neuronal antigens results in brain inflammation and subsequent seizure activity, as well as autoimmune-associated epilepsy and neuroinflammatory changes detected in the tissues of patients with epilepsy, in which context it is often difficult to distinguish whether the inflammation is causal or a consequence of the seizures. Here, we summarize the discussion on this topic held during the XVII Workshop on Neurobiology of Epilepsy (WONOEP XVII), organized in 2023 by the Neurobiology Commission of the International League Against Epilepsy on the topic of the extracellular space in epilepsy. This critical appraisal explores the progress, emerging concepts, and discussion on the immunopathogenesis of epilepsy, with a particular focus on the interplay between the immune system and the central nervous system, highlighting the role of autoimmunity, neuroinflammation, and neuroimmunological processes in the etiology of various epileptic disorders and the prospects for new therapies.
