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

backgroundCyclic seizures (CS) are defined by the periodic recurrence of epileptic activity and may offer critical insights into the mechanisms of seizure termination. Previous studies have reported increased network synchronization during the final stages of seizures. The objective of this study was to investigate hypersynchronization at the termination of cyclic seizures and to characterize its spatial distribution. MATERIAL AND

methodsTo quantify brain synchronization, we calculated the imaginary coherence in a low-frequency band (LF-iCOH) at different ictal phases. Synchronization was calculated at both scalp regions and electrode levels. A total of 10 patients were selected, and 1230 seizures from 468 h of EEG monitoring were analyzed.

resultsEight patients exhibited a significant increase in LF-iCOH at seizure termination in both regional and electrode-level analyses, with varying topographies. Hypersynchronization at the end of seizures was predominantly observed in the anterior and centrotemporal regions compared to the posterior regions. DISCUSSION: Terminal hypersynchronization was observed in all patients with focal to bilateral seizures and one patient with focal seizures, and was not observed in patients with localized focal seizures. The diverse topographies of terminal hypersynchronization observed suggest that this process is not related to any specific scalp area or seizure onset zone. These results suggest a common mechanism of seizure termination in the continuum of single seizures to the most severe form of SE.
