Autobiographical Memory Deficits in Persons with Epilepsy: Is There Epoch Specificity in Quantified Reminiscence?
Article in Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BACKGROUND
objectivesRemote memory assessment in epilepsy is often limited by challenges in construct and measurement. We aimed to study quantified autobiographical memory (AM) scores in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE), as well as healthy controls.
methodsWe studied 30 patients in each of three groups - TLE, IGE, and healthy controls. Standardized tests were used to assess the intelligence quotient, verbal memory, and visual memory. AM Interview (AMI) was used to assess total AM as well as AM sub-scores. Automated volumetric imaging was done to assess grey matter volumes in areas of interest. ANOVA was used to compare memory scores across the groups.
resultsVerbal and visual memory scores were lower in TLE compared to controls. Total AMI scores were lower in TLE and IGE when compared to controls. Total personal semantic AMI and total autobiographical incidents-AMI scores were lower in both IGE and TLE compared to controls. Recent life personal semantic AMI was lower in both TLE and IGE compared to controls, while other sub-scores were similar in all three groups. Childhood personal semantic memory scores were significantly correlated with right hippocampal and amygdala grey matter volumes, while total autobiographical AMI scores correlated with hippocampal grey matter volumes in IGE.
conclusionsThis study demonstrates AM deficits in persons with epilepsy. Further studies are required to clarify the AMI deficits in right and left TLE, as well as post-resective surgery for TLE.
