Thalamo-cortical synchrony shapes seizure expression in human temporal lobe epilepsy.

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
In drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy (DR-TLE), some seizures are clinically symptomatic while others remain electrographic despite arising from the same seizure-onset zone (SOZ), suggesting that clinical expression reflects network dynamics beyond seizure origin. We examined whether thalamo-cortical network engagement differs between clinical (CS) and non-clinical seizures (NCS). We analyzed 286 seizures from 62 DR-TLE patients recorded using stereoelectroencephalography with pulvinar and/or anterior thalamic group coverage. Thalamo-cortical synchrony during the first 20 seconds of seizure onset was quantified as correlation between SEEG-derived time-frequency patterns in thalamic nuclei and the cortical SOZ. Synchrony was significantly stronger during CS than NCS (p < 0.0001, Cliff's δ > 0.6), including within-subject analyses, and was independent of other clinical variables, including postsurgical outcome. Linear mixed-effects modeling identified seizure type as the sole independent predictor of synchrony (p = 0.0069). These findings identify thalamo-cortical synchrony as a network-level feature associated with clinical seizure expression in DR-TLE.
