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

Accurate computational modeling of electric fields in the human head has become important in clinical research to study or influence brain functionality. While existing numerical approaches have been evaluated against simple geometries with known closed form solutions, the relationship between these approaches in more complex geometries has not been studied. Here, we compare the three most commonly used approaches for bioelectric modeling: the finite element method (FEM), the finite difference method (FDM), and the boundary element method (BEM). Using both isotropic and anisotropic conductivity distributions, we construct and compare bioelectric models for a realistic head geometry. Our results suggest that both FEM and FDM are capable of accurately model voltages in the brain, while computations from BEM result in significantly larger errors, due to the increased simplicity and implicit model assumptions.
