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

Reliable prediction of epileptic seizures is of prime importance as it can drastically change the quality of life for patients. This study aims to propose a real-time low computational approach for the prediction of epileptic seizures and to present an efficient hardware implementation of this approach for portable prediction systems. Three levels of feature extraction are performed to characterize the pre-ictal activities of the EEG signal. In the first-level, the line length algorithm is applied to the pre-ictal region. The features obtained in the first-level are mathematically integrated to extract the second-level features and then the line lengths of the second-level features are calculated to obtain our third-level feature. The third-level information is compared with predefined threshold levels to make a decision on whether the extracted characteristics are relevant to a seizure occurrence or not. The validity of this algorithm was tested by EEG recordings in the CHB-MIT database (97 seizures, 834.224 h) for 19 epileptic patients. The results showed that the average sensitivity was 90.62%, the specificity was 88.34%, the accuracy was 88.76% with the average false prediction rate as low as 0.0046 h
