Epilepsy: Bridging Epidemiological Landscapes, Molecular Mechanisms, and Emerging Precision Therapeutics.
Review in Neuropsychiatric disease and treatment, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Epilepsy ranks among the most prevalent neurological disorders worldwide, and recent years have witnessed significant advancements in understanding its epidemiological features, pathophysiological mechanisms, diagnostic methodologies, and therapeutic approaches. This review systematically examines the epidemiology of epilepsy, highlighting pronounced regional and population-based disparities, particularly the substantial treatment gap observed in low-income countries. Regarding pathogenesis, epilepsy development involves aberrant ion channel function, neuroinflammatory processes, dysregulation of the mTOR signaling pathway, and genetic predispositions. Diagnostic innovations, including ultra-high field magnetic resonance imaging, artificial intelligence-enhanced electroencephalogram analysis, and liquid biopsy techniques, have markedly enhanced the precision of epileptogenic focus localization and etiological identification. Genetic investigations have uncovered numerous epilepsy-associated genes, thereby underpinning the advancement of targeted therapies. Therapeutically, novel antiepileptic drugs, neuromodulation modalities such as vagus nerve stimulation and deep brain stimulation, alongside gene therapy, have expanded treatment options for refractory epilepsy. Nonetheless, global epilepsy management continues to confront challenges including limited drug accessibility, social stigma, and pharmacoresistance. The future trajectory emphasizes individualized and precision medicine approaches, integrating genomics, biomarker discovery, and intelligent monitoring technologies to foster comprehensive improvements in epilepsy diagnosis and treatment.
