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

backgroundNeurocysticercosis (NCC) is a frequent cause of epilepsy in endemic regions. An association between NCC and hippocampal sclerosis (HS), a key pathological substrate of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy, has been increasingly reported but remains controversial. SUMMARY: A literature search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and ScienceDirect focusing on publications describing epilepsy due to NCC with HS. Twenty-three original articles, identified through 2023, were retrieved from Brazil, Ecuador, India, Mexico, and Korea. The proposed relationships between NCC and HS include incidental coexistence, NCC as an initial precipitating injury, and the presence of a third variable. While multiple hypotheses have been discussed and reported cases compiled, the precise nature of this association remains unresolved. KEY MESSAGES: Although the mechanisms underlying the relationship between NCC and HS are not fully elucidated, evidence supports their coexistence in patients with epilepsy. Recognition of this association is important for clinical evaluation and may guide future research on pathogenesis and management.
