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

Hippocampal sclerosis in temporal lobe epilepsy is linked to cognitive impairment. This study investigates its exacerbating role in visual working memory deficits in right temporal lobe epilepsy and the involvement of contralateral hippocampal subregions. We enrolled 103 patients with right temporal lobe epilepsy (57 with right hippocampal sclerosis and 46 without hippocampal sclerosis) and 36 healthy controls who underwent high-resolution MRI and neuropsychological assessment. Patients with hippocampal sclerosis showed more severe visual working memory impairment, widespread grey matter atrophy and significant volume loss in bilateral cornu ammonis 3 and right dentate gyrus. Contralateral cornu ammonis 3 atrophy correlated with poorer visual working memory performance. Hippocampal sclerosis in right temporal lobe epilepsy is linked to severe visual working memory deficits and extensive bilateral hippocampal atrophy. These findings establish hippocampal sclerosis as a key biomarker and underscore the role of bilateral hippocampal network disruption, with contralateral cornu ammonis 3 integrity influencing cognitive outcomes.
