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 and purposeTemporal dissociation between electrographic and clinical seizure onset in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) implies network heterogeneity. We hypothesized that MTLE consists of distinct electroclinical phenotypes defined by divergent seizure propagation dynamics.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 167 seizures from 13 patients with drug-resistant MTLE who achieved Engel Class I surgical outcomes. Based on the predominant relationship between scalp electroencephalography (EEG) and clinical onset, patients were classified as EEG-first (

resultsThe cohort included 83 scalp and 84 SEEG seizures. By definition, onset order differed: in EEG-first seizures, scalp changes preceded clinical signs in 70.5%, whereas the reverse occurred in 65.8% of Clinical-first seizures (

conclusionsMTLE comprises two pathophysiologically distinct phenotypes: EEG-first, reflecting a slowly propagating anterior mesial network, and Clinical-first, involving a rapidly spreading posterior network. This classification offers a mechanistic framework for understanding electroclinical dissociation and may refine presurgical evaluation.
