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

objectiveAlthough many studies have attempted to improve the performance of the visual-based P300-speller system, its performance is still not satisfactory. The current system has limitations for patients with neurodegenerative diseases, in which muscular control of the eyes may be impaired or deteriorate over time. Some studies have shown that the audiovisual stimuli with spatial and semantic congruence elicited larger event-related potential (ERP) amplitudes than do unimodal visual stimuli. Therefore, this study proposed a novel multisensory P300-speller based on audiovisual spatial and semantic congruence.

methodsWe designed a novel audiovisual P300-speller paradigm (AV spelling paradigm) in which the pronunciation and visual presentation of characters were matched in spatial position and semantics. We analyzed the ERP waveforms elicited in the AV spelling paradigm and visual-based spelling paradigm (V spelling paradigm) and compared the classification accuracies between these two paradigms.

resultsERP analysis revealed significant differences in ERP amplitudes between the two paradigms in the following areas (AV > V): the frontal area at 60-140 ms, frontal-central-parietal area at 360-460 ms, frontal area at 700-800 ms, right temporal area at 380-480 and 700-780 ms, and left temporal area at 500-780 ms. Offline classification results showed that the accuracies were significantly higher in the AV spelling paradigm than in the V spelling paradigm after superposing 1, 2, 5, 6, 9, and 10 times ( SIGNIFICANCE: The proposed audiovisual P300-speller paradigm significantly improved the classification accuracies compared with the visual-based P300-speller paradigm. Our novel paradigm combines spatial and semantic features of two sensory modalities, and the present findings provide valuable insights into the development of multimodal ERP-based BCI paradigms.
