CBZ: carbamazepine; GBP: gabapentin; IPD: individual participant data; ITT: intention to treat; LEV: levetiracetam; LTG: lamotrigine; OXC: oxcarbazepine; PHB: phenobarbitone; PHT: phenytoin; TPM: topiramate; VPS: sodium valproate; ZNS: zonisamide

aDrug allocated missing for 11 participants in the IPD provided.
 bTrials designed in two strata based on whether recommended treatment would be CBZ or VPS. Within the two strata, participants were randomised to TPM in Privitera 2003/LEV in Trinka 2013 or CBZ/VPS depending on the strata. Data analysed according to the separate strata (CBZ branch or VPS branch) in this review.
 cOne trial provided the total number randomised but not the numbers randomised to each group. The 37 participants randomised are counted in the overall totals.
