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 affects millions of people worldwide, driving the need for advanced methods to monitor patients' health and seizure activity. Recent advances in wearable technologies have enabled continuous collection of physiological data to support real-time seizure detection in the real-world. This review presents a targeted synthesis of 23 studies evaluating wearable devices and their associated artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms for automated seizure detection. Both wrist- and ear-based systems demonstrate high sensitivity, with performance influenced by device design, signal reliability, and analytic approach. The main challenges include reducing false alarms and maintaining data integrity during everyday use. More recent studies highlight the ability to anticipate seizures before they occur, marking a promising step toward improving safety and well-being for people living with epilepsy. Ongoing efforts to identify reliable physiological markers and to evaluate device performance across diverse populations are key to integrating wearable technologies for seizure detection into routine medical care.
