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

The epilepsies comprise a group of syndromes that are divided into generalized and partial (focal) types. Familial occurrence has long been recognized but progress in mapping epilepsy genes has been slow except for rare cases where the inheritance is easily determined from classical genetic studies. Linkage is established for three generalized syndromes: the EBN1 and EBN2 genes for benign familial neonatal convulsions (BFNC) map to chromosomes 20q and 8q (refs 2-5), the EPM1 gene for Unverricht-Lundborg disease maps to 21q (ref. 6) and the gene for the northern epilepsy syndrome maps to 8p (ref. 7). A claim for linkage of the EJM1 gene for the common generalized syndrome of juvenile myoclonic epilepsy to 6p is currently in dispute. Autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (ADNFLE) was recently described in five families. We now report the chromosomal assignment, to 20q13.2, for the gene for ADNFLE in one large Australian kindred with 27 affected individuals spanning six generations.
