Point-of-care brain injury evaluation of conscious awareness: wide scale deployment of portable HCS EEG evaluation.
Article in Neuroscience of consciousness, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Survivors of severe brain injury may remain in a decreased state of conscious awareness for an extended period of time. Clinical scales are used to describe levels of consciousness but rely on behavioural responses, precipitating misdiagnosis. We have previously utilized event-related potentials (ERPs) to circumvent reliance on behavioural responses. However, practical implementation barriers limit the clinical utility of ERP assessment at point-of-care (POC). To address this challenge, we developed the Halifax Consciousness Scanner (HCS)-a rapid, semi-automated electroencephalography system. The current study evaluated: (i) HCS feasibility in sub-acute, POC settings nationwide; (ii) ERP P300 responses in patients with acquired brain injury versus healthy controls; and (iii) correlations within and between clinical measures and P300 latencies. We assessed 28 patients with severe, chronic impairments from brain injuries and contrasted the results with healthy control data (
