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

Optically Pumped Magnetometers (OPMs) have been hailed as the future of human magnetoencephalography, as they enable a level of flexibility and adaptability that cannot be obtained with systems based on superconductors. While OPM sensors are already commercially available, there is plenty of room for further improvements and customization. In this work, we detected auditory evoked brain fields using an OPM based on the nonlinear magneto-optical rotation (NMOR) technique. Our sensor head, containing only optical and non-magnetizable elements, is connected to an external module including all the electronic components, placed outside the magnetically shielded room. The use of the NMOR allowed us to detect the brain signals in non-zero magnetic field environments. In particular, we were able to detect auditory evoked fields in a background field of 70 nT. We benchmarked our sensor with conventional SQUID sensors, showing comparable performance. We further demonstrated that our sensor can be employed to detect modulations of brain oscillations in the alpha band. Our results are a promising stepping-stone towards the realization of resilient OPM-based magnetoencephalography systems that do not require active compensation.
