Example issue — a neurologist following adult epilepsy

Three papers · weekly · example only

1. Example: a randomised trial of an add-on drug in drug-resistant focal epilepsy

Example Journal of Neurology · example date · Randomised controlled trial

An invented trial description showing how each card reads: what was asked, who was studied, what was measured, and what the authors concluded. Two to four sentences, taken only from the paper itself, with the uncertainty left in rather than rounded away.

Why this was chosen for you: matches "adult epilepsy, drug-resistant focal seizures"; excludes paediatric populations you asked to leave out.

Source link appears here in a real issue.

2. Example: a cohort study of seizure recurrence after medication withdrawal

Example Neurology Review · example date · Observational cohort

A second invented summary. Evidence type is stated plainly so a trial is never confused with an observational finding, and the summary never adds a claim the source does not make.

Why this was chosen for you: matches "withdrawal and relapse risk".

3. Example: a systematic review of EEG features and outcome

Example Reviews in Clinical Neurophysiology · example date · Systematic review

A third invented summary. Photographs in real issues are licensed stock images chosen for illustration only; they never depict the study or its participants.

Why this was chosen for you: matches "EEG prognosis".

Every issue ends with a one-click unsubscribe link, a link to your own preferences, and buttons to mark a paper relevant or less relevant.
