Amygdala enlargement associated with remote epileptogenic lesions.
Article in Epilepsia, 2026. 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
objectiveTo determine the prevalence and possible causes of amygdala enlargement in patients with drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy.
methodsPatients were retrospectively identified via a radiology information system and a large language model. Magnetic resonance imaging scans were visually re-analyzed and amygdala volumetry applied.
resultsThe term "amygdala" was used in 89 of 1853 patients. Of those, 54 had lesions in the amygdalae, 20 had isolated amygdala enlargements, and 15 patients had amygdala enlargements and remote epileptogenic lesions. Objective processing of imaging data confirmed higher amygdala volumes of both latter groups (2.09 ± 0.28 mL, 2.23 ± 0.33 mL vs 1.56 ± 0.22 mL). SIGNIFICANCE: When amygdala enlargement occurs with remote epileptogenic lesions and patients become seizure-free after remote lesion resection, amygdala enlargement is likely the consequence of seizures, but not their cause. In addition, isolated amygdala enlargements can be the consequence of epileptic seizures.
