A Standardized Electrode Nomenclature for Stereoelectroencephalography Applications.

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.
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
purposeStereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) is widely performed on individuals with medically refractory epilepsy for whom invasive seizure localization is desired. Despite increasing adoption in many centers across the world, no standardized electrode naming convention exists, generating confusion among both clinical and research teams.
methodsWe have developed a novel nomenclature, named the Standardized Electrode Nomenclature for SEEG Applications system. Concise, unique, informative, and unambiguous labels provide information about entry point, deep targets, and relationships between electrodes. Inter-rater agreement was evaluated by comparing original electrode names from 10 randomly sampled cases (including 136 electrodes) with those prospectively assigned by four additional blinded raters.
resultsThe Standardized Electrode Nomenclature for SEEG Application system was prospectively implemented in 40 consecutive patients undergoing SEEG monitoring at our institution, creating unique electrode names in all cases, and facilitating implantation design, SEEG recording and mapping interpretation, and treatment planning among neurosurgeons, neurologists, and neurophysiologists. The inter-rater percent agreement for electrode names among two neurosurgeons, two epilepsy neurologists, and one neurosurgical fellow was 97.5%.
conclusionsThis standardized naming convention, Standardized Electrode Nomenclature for SEEG Application, provides a simple, concise, reproducible, and informative method for specifying the target(s) and relative position of each SEEG electrode in each patient, allowing for successful sharing of information in both the clinical and research settings. General adoption of this nomenclature could pave the way for improved communication and collaboration between institutions.
