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

Epileptic encephalopathies are characterized by altered mental status, primarily driven by aggressive and abnormal epileptiform activities in the brain. These conditions often present with intractable seizures associated with progressive neurocognitive decline or stagnation. Mutations in the KCNQ2 gene represent one of the most common genetic causes of neonatal epileptic encephalopathies. This case report describes a rare presentation of a KCNQ2 gain-of-function mutation associated with respiratory dysfunction and non-epileptic myoclonus. This case report describes a rare presentation of a KCNQ2 gain-of-function mutation associated with respiratory dysfunction and non-epileptic myoclonus, with the patient exhibiting an uncommon phenotype of central hypopnea and non-epileptic, stimulus-sensitive myoclonus.
