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

Purpose: This research aimed to comprehensively explore the divergent topological alterations in metabolic connectivity associated with focal epilepsy, including right temporal lobe epilepsy (RTLE), left temporal lobe epilepsy (LTLE), extra temporal lobe epilepsy (ETLE), and their associations with prognosis. Methods: This study enrolled a cohort of patients who had been diagnosed with focal epilepsy, including RTLE, LTLE, and ETLE. The metabolic connectivity of each individual, determined by the first-order features of Results: Compared with the health controls (HCs), the RTLE, LTLE, and ETLE groups exhibited substantial alterations in metabolic network connectivity at the edge and node levels ( Conclusion: The research demonstrates distinct topological characteristics of metabolic networks in focal epilepsy, which may provide a foundation for understanding clinical symptomatology and inform future investigations into imaging-based biomarkers.
