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

backgroundEpilepsy surgery is the treatment of choice for drug-resistant epilepsy associated with hippocampal sclerosis. Patients over 50 years of age have an increased risk of postoperative complications after epilepsy surgery.

methodsThe authors present an operative video demonstrating right temporal lobe disconnection in a case of hippocampal sclerosis, along with an anatomical introduction and a section providing strategies to minimize complications.

resultsIn selected cases, temporal lobe disconnection represents a viable alternative to resective procedures.
