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

Background: Prognostic determinants in anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) antibody-associated epilepsy remain unclear, and no validated predictive model exists. We aimed to identify prognostic factors and develop a predictive model. Methods: This multicenter cohort included patients diagnosed with anti-GAD antibody-associated epilepsy before September 2024. Data encompassed demographics, seizure semiology, cellular and serological parameters, neuroimaging and electrophysiological findings, and treatment regimens. Favorable outcome was defined as seizure-free for ≥12 months following immunotherapy and antiseizure medications, poor outcome was defined as persistent seizures. Prognostic factors were analyzed and a predictive model was constructed. Results: Among 91 patients, 22 (24%) achieved seizure freedom, whereas 69 (76%) continued to experience seizures despite appropriate treatment. Poor prognosis was associated with focal seizures (50% vs. 81%, Conclusion: Focal seizures, TLE, and higher seizure frequency were associated with poor prognosis, whereas early diagnosis, timely treatment, and higher peripheral CD8
