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

People with epilepsy are at 24-fold increased risk of sudden death compared to the general population. Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is defined as the sudden, unexpected, nontraumatic, and nondrowning death of an individual with epilepsy, with or without evidence of a seizure, in which postmortem examination does not reveal a structural or toxicologic cause of death. SUDEP is the leading cause of mortality in epilepsy. The SUDEP rate in general epilepsy is >1:1000 person-years, with rates in some drug-resistant epilepsies and developmental and epileptic encephalopathies exceeding 9:1000 person-years. This review summarizes the current state of the field of SUDEP research, including human cohort studies, genetic risk factors, the use of animal models of epilepsy and SUDEP, cardio-respiratory risk factors, EEG biomarkers during sleep, and the use of wearable devices to reduce SUDEP risk. Understanding of the current state of SUDEP research can help inform clinical care, motivate future research directions, and ultimately reduce the risk of SUDEP in the epilepsy population.
