Research progress on the relationship between long QT syndrome (LQTS) and epilepsy: A review.
Review in Medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a hereditary disorder caused by cardiac electrophysiological abnormalities, while epilepsy is a group of neurological disorders characterized by brain electrical abnormalities. Despite involving different physiological systems, recent research suggests a potential interconnection between LQTS and epilepsy. In this review of previous studies, we summarize independent investigations of LQTS and epilepsy, emphasizing efforts to identify common mechanisms between these 2 diseases. By analyzing biological mechanisms such as ion channel dysfunction and neuronal excitability, we propose some shared underlying pathophysiological features between LQTS and epilepsy. We further discuss clinical manifestations and diagnostic challenges, focusing on similar symptoms that patients may exhibit and how to differentiate between these 2 conditions in clinical practice. Finally, we provide insights into future research directions, highlighting the potential benefits of advancements in this field for clinical practice and treatment strategies. Through in-depth exploration of the relationship between LQTS and epilepsy, we aim to contribute to more precise approaches for the prevention and treatment of these 2 diseases.
