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

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) can be a very efficient treatment option for movement disorders and psychiatric diseases. To better understand DBS mechanisms, brain activity can be recorded using magnetoencephalography (MEG) with the stimulator turned on. However, DBS produces large artefacts compromising MEG data quality due to both the applied current and the movement of wires connecting the stimulator with the electrode. To filter out these artefacts, several methods to suppress the DBS artefact have been proposed in the literature. A comparative study evaluating each method's effectiveness, however, is missing so far. In this study, we evaluate the performance of four artefact rejection methods on MEG data from phantom recordings with DBS acquired with an Elekta Neuromag and a CTF system: (i) Hampel-filter, (ii) spectral signal space projection (S3P), (iii) independent component analysis with mutual information (ICA-MI), and (iv) temporal signal space separation (tSSS). In the sensor space, the largest increase in signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio was achieved by ICA-MI, while the best correspondence in terms of source activations was obtained by tSSS. LCMV beamforming alone was not sufficient to suppress the DBS-induced artefacts.
