Biofluid Biomarkers of Neuronal and Glial Injury in Epilepsy and Seizures: A Comprehensive Review.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 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 is one of the most common chronic neurological disorders worldwide, affecting millions of individuals and imposing a substantial cognitive, psychological, social, and economic burden. Despite significant advances in epilepsy research, key questions remain unresolved regarding the mechanisms underlying drug resistance, cognitive impairment, depression, and sudden unexpected death in epilepsy, as well as the contribution of recurrent seizures in promoting neuronal and glial injury. Addressing these challenges requires reliable biomarkers capable of accurately reflecting disease activity and detecting ongoing brain damage. In this review, we summarize the current evidence on biofluid biomarkers of neuronal and glial damage in epilepsy and seizures and discuss their potential clinical relevance. Particular attention is given to biomarkers associated with major pathways involved in epileptogenesis, including neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, neurodegeneration, blood-brain barrier disruption, altered gene expression, and synaptic remodeling. Emerging evidence suggests that circulating and cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers may provide valuable insights into seizure-related brain injury and the molecular mechanisms underlying epilepsy. Although none of these markers has yet been adopted in routine clinical practice, they represent promising tools for improving diagnosis, prognostic assessment, patient stratification, and the development of more personalized therapeutic strategies.
