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

Subtotal hippocampal resection can leave residual hippocampal tissue, yet the immediate postoperative electrophysiologic evolution of such remnants is unknown. We describe a patient with drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy in whom a hippocampal remnant was continuously monitored using a responsive neurostimulator (RNS) following subtotal hippocampal resection. Postoperative electrocorticography demonstrated persistent electrographic status epilepticus for 3 days, followed by a transient 5-day quiescent period and delayed recurrence of electrographic and clinical seizures on postoperative day eight. This case provides rare, real-time insight into the dynamic temporal evolution of residual hippocampal excitability after surgery and offers a potential mechanistic explanation for delayed postoperative seizure recurrence following incomplete hippocampal resection.
