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

backgroundThe peripheral nervous system is involved in a multitude of physiological functions. Recording neural signals provides information that can be used by diagnostic bioelectronic medicine devices, closed-loop neuromodulation therapies and other neuroprosthetic applications. The ability to accurately record these signals is challenging, due to the presence of various biological and instrument-related interference sources. NEW

methodWe developed a common-mode interference rejection algorithm based on an impedance matching approach for bipolar cuff electrodes. Two unipolar channels were recorded from the two electrode contacts of a bipolar cuff. The impedance mismatch was estimated and used to correct one of the two channels.

resultsWhen applied to electrocardiographic (ECG) artifacts collected from three mice using CorTec electrodes, the algorithm reduced the interference to noise ratio (INR) over simple subtraction by 12 dB on average. The algorithm also reduced the INR of stimulation artifacts in recordings from three rats collected using flexible electrodes by an additional 2.4 dB. In the same experiments evoked electromyographic (EMG) interference was suppressed by 1.3 dB. COMPARISON WITH EXISTING

methodsSimple subtraction is the common approach for reducing common-mode interference in bipolar recordings, however impedance mismatches that exist or emerge compromise its efficiency.

conclusionsThe algorithm significantly reduced the common-mode interference from ECG artifacts, stimulation artifacts, and evoked EMG interference, while retaining neural signals, in two animal models and two recording setups. This approach can be used in a variety of different neurophysiological setups to remove common-mode interference from a variety of sources.
