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

Epilepsy ranks among the most prevalent neurological disorders globally, with a substantial proportion of cases, particularly in pediatric populations, attributed to genetic etiologies. This study provides the first molecular characterization of suspected genetic epilepsy in a pediatric cohort from the Moldova region of Romania. Following the exclusion of 124 patients with secondary acquired or structural causes from an initial cohort of 159, we enrolled 35 individuals with a high suspicion of primary genetic epilepsy, who underwent targeted gene panel testing or whole-exome sequencing (WES). Pathogenic (P) or likely pathogenic (LP) variants were identified in 13 patients (37.1%); variants of uncertain significance (VUSs) were identified in another 13 patients (37.1%), comprising 15 distinct VUSs; and negative results were observed in the remaining 9 patients (25.7%).
