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 ability to accurately forecast seizures could significantly improve the quality of life of patients with drug-refractory epilepsy. Prediction capabilities rely on the adequate identification of seizure activity precursors from electroencephalography recordings. Although a long list of features has been proposed, none of these is able to independently characterize the brain states during transition to a seizure. This work assessed the feasibility of using the bispectrum, an advanced signal processing technique based on higher order statistics, as a precursor of seizure activity. Quantitative features were extracted from the bispectrum and passed through two statistical tests to check for significant differences between preictal and interictal recordings. Results showed statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) between preictal and interictal states using all bispectrum-extracted features. We used normalized bispectral entropy, normalized bispectral squared entropy, and mean of magnitude as inputs to a 5-layer multilayer perceptron classifier and achieved respective held-out test accuracies of 78.11%, 72.64%, and 73.26%.
