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

The purpose of this work is the estimation of the Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) from a single continuous electroencephalogram (c-EEG) routinely recorded to monitor comatose patients in the neurosurgical intensive care unit. c-EEG was recorded from 13 patients in the acute phase: five with GOS = 5, four with GOS = 3 and four with GOS = 1. Different indexes were extracted from epochs of c-EEG (classical: amplitude and spectral estimators; non classical: from recurrence quantification analysis-RQA-and approximate entropy). Descriptors of different indexes (temporal variation and mean, standard deviation, skewness of the distribution across epochs) were used to train support vector machines to identify the correct GOS. We found classifiers allowing correct classification of the patients. Spectral indexes allowed to get optimal performances in classifying GOS 1 and 3. Nonlinear indexes (especially determinism from RQA) were optimal for identifying GOS = 5. Thus, the integration of information from classical/linear and nonlinear c-EEG descriptors in a multi-index classifier is important for GOS estimation.
