Surgical Treatment of Brain Tumor-Related Epilepsy: Current and Emerging Strategies.
Review in Cancers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Brain tumor-related epilepsy (BTRE) is a common and debilitating symptom of central nervous system (CNS) tumors. The epileptogenic zone, defined as cortex responsible for seizure generation, is located at the peritumoral region for most tumors, and lower-grade intrinsic brain tumors have the highest seizure incidence. Surgery is often the most effective treatment for the reduction in seizures in BTRE. However, surgical decisions have historically often been made exclusively for oncologic reasons, with less emphasis on seizure control. Surgical approaches for all tumor types are reviewed, highlighting relevant risk factors. Adjunctive tools during surgery, such as intraoperative electrocorticography (ECoG), may help identify and remove surrounding brain areas which are epileptogenic. Minimally invasive surgery is also gaining traction, given its utility in treating seizures deep-seated tumors. This review explores epileptogenic brain tumors, surgery for BTRE, and emerging strategies to better achieve seizure control.
