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

Epilepsy is one of the most common disorders of the brain. Clinically, to corroborate an epileptic seizure-like symptom and to find the seizure localization, electroencephalogram (EEG) data are often visually examined by a clinical doctor to detect the presence of epileptiform discharges. Epileptiform discharges are transient waveforms lasting for several tens to hundreds of milliseconds and are mainly divided into seven types. It is important to develop systematic approaches to accurately distinguish these waveforms from normal control ones. This is a difficult task if one wishes to develop first principle rather than black-box based approaches, since clinically used scalp EEGs usually contain a lot of noise and artifacts. To solve this problem, we analyzed 640 multi-channel EEG segments, each 4
