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

backgroundElectrical stimulation of the cortex using subdurally implanted electrodes can causally reveal structural connectivity by eliciting cortico-cortical evoked potentials (CCEPs). While many studies have demonstrated the potential value of CCEPs, the methods to evaluate them were often relatively subjective, did not consider potential artifacts, and did not lend themselves to systematic scientific investigations. NEW

methodWe developed an automated and quantitative method called SIGNI (Stimulation-Induced Gamma-based Network Identification) to evaluate cortical population-level responses to electrical stimulation that minimizes the impact of electrical artifacts. We applied SIGNI to electrocorticographic (ECoG) data from eight human subjects who were implanted with a total of 978 subdural electrodes. Across the eight subjects, we delivered 92 trains of approximately 200 discrete electrical stimuli each (amplitude 4-15 mA) to a total of 64 electrode pairs.

resultsWe verified SIGNI's efficacy by demonstrating a relationship between the magnitude of evoked cortical activity and stimulation amplitude, as well as between the latency of evoked cortical activity and the distance from the stimulated locations.

conclusionsSIGNI reveals the timing and amplitude of cortical responses to electrical stimulation as well as the structural connectivity supporting these responses. With these properties, it enables exploration of new and important questions about the neurophysiology of cortical communication and may also be useful for pre-surgical planning.
