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

Epilepsy is increasingly recognized as a disorder of brain networks rather than a solely focal disease. Beyond the seizure focus, connected brain networks can exert inhibitory control over seizure initiation and propagation resulting in antiseizure effects. Here, we present data from animal and human studies on antiseizure networks and integrate recent results from lesion-, stimulation- and neurophysiological-experiments. Consistent with these results, we present the Interictal Suppression Hypothesis that posits that strong inward connectivity to the seizure focus maintains seizure freedom between events, while collapse of this connectivity accompanies seizure spread and generalization. Workshop discussions highlighted future directions, including mechanistic stimulation studies to interrogate the role of antiseizure networks seizure control and design of therapeutic studies towards network-guided neuromodulation for epilepsy. A deeper mechanistic understanding of antiseizure networks may enable development of precision therapies that target endogenous seizure control rather than simply target the seizure focus.
