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

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a neurodevelopmental disorder with epileptic seizures caused by genetic mutations in either TSC1 or TSC2 gene. Multiple genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors can affect the phenotypical outcomes of TSC individuals. Accumulating evidence has shown that the seizures occurred in early life may contribute to the epileptogenesis and aggravate the neurological setting and neuropsychiatric symptoms of TSC. Therefore, treatments targeting seizures and/or epileptogenesis have always been the main focus on TSC therapies. Current anti-epileptic drugs and mTOR inhibitors show some efficacy, yet up to one-third of TSC-epileptic individuals are classified as refractory epilepsy. Vigabatrin, which has been used as the first-line therapy for infantile spasms in TSC, has demonstrated to delay the onset and lower the overall incidence of seizures in infants with TSC when it was used as a preventive treatment. Recently, because of its efficacy, cannabidiol, which targets adenosine signaling pathway, has been approved by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of TSC-associated epilepsy, suggesting an anti-epilepsy strategy other than mTOR inhibition is also plausible for TSC. To this end, we sought for a preventative treatment of an adenosine pathway-targeted therapeutic strategy. In this study, we pretreated Tsc2
