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

Steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEPs), the brain response to visual flicker stimulation, have proven beneficial in both research and clinical applications. Despite the practical advantages of stimulation at high frequencies in terms of visual comfort and safety, high frequency-SSVEPs have not received enough attention and little is known about the mechanisms behind their generation and propagation in time and space. In this study, we investigated the origin and propagation of SSVEPs in the gamma frequency band (40-60 Hz) by studying the dynamic properties of EEG in 32 subjects. Using low-resolution brain electromagnetic tomography (sLORETA) we identified the cortical sources involved in SSVEP generation in that frequency range to be in the primary visual cortex, Brodmann areas 17, 18 and 19 with minor contribution from sources in central and frontal sites. We investigated the SSVEP propagation as measured on the scalp in the framework of the existing theories regarding the neurophysiological mechanism through which the SSVEP spreads through the cortex. We found a progressive phase shift from posterior parieto-occipital sites over the cortex with a phase velocity of approx. 8-14 m/s and wavelength of about 21 and 24 cm. The SSVEP spatial properties appear sensitive to input frequency with higher stimulation frequencies showing a faster propagation speed.
