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

introductionSLC6A1-related neurodevelopmental disorder (SLC6A1-NDD) is an epileptic encephalopathy linked to mutations in the

methodsWe analyzed EEG recordings from 20 patients with SLC6A1-NDD and 20 neurotypical age- and sex-matched controls using EEGLAB and Persyst, quantifying delta power and related metrics. The Wilcoxon signed-rank method tested for differences between patients and controls, area under the curve (AUC) values evaluated patient classifier models, and Pearson's correlation assessed concordance between EEGLAB and Persyst.

resultsPatients with SLC6A1-NDD exhibited significantly elevated delta power (19.4 ± 4.1) compared to controls (14.2 ± 3.0;

conclusionsElevated delta power is a notable feature of SLC6A1-NDD. Cross-platform comparison demonstrates the feasibility of quantitative EEG analysis, while imperfect concordance highlights the need for pipeline standardization. Future work should validate these findings in larger cohorts and, as suitable reference data emerge, benchmark delta power metrics against age-matched children with other developmental and epileptic encephalopathies.
