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

Time-varying connectivity analysis based on sources reconstructed using inverse modeling of electroencephalographic (EEG) data is important to understand the dynamic behaviour of the brain. We simulated cortical data from a visual spatial attention network with a time-varying connectivity structure, and then simulated the propagation to the scalp to obtain EEG data. Distributed EEG source modeling using sLORETA was applied. We compared different dipole (representing a source) selection strategies based on their time series in a region of interest. Next, we estimated multivariate autoregressive (MVAR) parameters using classical Kalman filter and general linear Kalman filter approaches followed by the calculation of partial directed coherence (PDC). MVAR parameters and PDC values for the selected sources were compared with the ground-truth. We found that the best strategy to extract the time series of a region of interest was to select a dipole with time series showing the highest correlation with the average time series in the region of interest. Dipole selection based on power or based on the largest singular value offer comparable alternatives. Among the different Kalman filter approaches, the use of a general linear Kalman filter was preferred to estimate PDC based connectivity except when only a small number of trials are available. In the latter case, the classical Kalman filter can be an alternative.
