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

objectiveIdentifying presumed epileptogenic region (PER) in MRI-negative epilepsy patients is crucial for successful surgical outcomes. This study aims to determine whether dynamic deuterium metabolic imaging (DMI) at 7Tesla can detect region-specific metabolic alterations in MRI-negative,

methodsFive drug-resistant MRI-negative,

resultsPlasma glucose and

conclusionsUltra-high-field DMI revealed elevated hippocampal glutamatergic turnover in MRI negative epilepsy patients, with the highest levels in the epileptogenic hippocampus. These findings indicate the presence of subtle metabolic alterations in hippocampal tissue, supporting the potential of DMI to capture pathophysiological changes that remain invisible to conventional imaging.
