Electroencephalographic Resting-State Functional Connectivity of Benign Epilepsy with Centrotemporal Spikes.
Article in Journal of clinical neurology (Seoul, Korea), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
background and purposeWe aimed to reveal resting-state functional connectivity characteristics based on the spike-free waking electroencephalogram (EEG) of benign epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (BECTS) patients, which usually appears normal in routine visual inspection.
methodsThirty BECTS patients and 30 disease-free and age- and sex-matched controls were included. Eight-second EEG epochs without artifacts were sampled and then bandpass filtered into the delta, theta, lower alpha, upper alpha, and beta bands to construct the association matrix. The weighted phase lag index (wPLI) was used as an association measure for EEG signals. The band-specific connectivity, which was represented as a matrix of wPLI values of all edges, was compared for analyzing the connectivity itself. The global wPLI, characteristic path length (CPL), and mean clustering coefficient were compared.
resultsThe resting-state functional connectivity itself and the network topology differed in the BECTS patients. For the lower-alpha-band and beta-band connectivity, edges that showed significant differences had consistently lower wPLI values compared to the disease-free controls. The global wPLI value was significantly lower for BECTS patients than for the controls in lower-alpha-band connectivity (mean±SD; 0.241±0.034 vs. 0.276±0.054,
conclusionsThe connectivity differed significantly between BECTS patients and disease-free controls. In BECTS, global connectivity was significantly decreased and the resting-state functional connectivity showed lower efficiency in the lower alpha band.
