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

objectiveReal-time approaches for transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) based on a specific EEG phase are a promising avenue for more precise neuromodulation interventions. However, optimal approaches to reliably extract the EEG phase in a frequency band of interest to inform TMS are still to be identified. Here, we implement a new real-time phase detection method for closed-loop EEG-TMS for robust phase extraction. We compare this algorithm with state-of-the-art methods and evaluate its performance both in silico and experimentally. APPROACH: We propose a new robust algorithm (Educated Temporal Prediction) for delivering real-time EEG phase-specific stimulation based on short prerecorded EEG training data. This method estimates the interpeak period from a training period and applies a bias correction to predict future peaks. We compare the accuracy and computation speed of the ETP algorithm with two existing methods (Fourier based, Autoregressive Prediction) using prerecorded resting EEG data and real-time experiments. MAIN

resultsWe found that Educated Temporal Prediction performs with higher accuracy than Fourier-based or Autoregressive methods both in silico and in vivo while being computationally more efficient. Further, we document the dependency of the EEG signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) on algorithm accuracy across all algorithms. SIGNIFICANCE: Our results give important insights for real-time EEG-TMS technical development as well as experimental design. Due to its robustness and computational efficiency, our method can find broad use in experimental research or clinical applications. Through open sharing of code for all three methods, we enable broad access of TMS-EEG real-time algorithms to the community.
