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

Thin-film polymer microelectrode arrays (MEAs) facilitate the high-resolution neural recording with its superior mechanical compliance. However, the densely packed electrodes and interconnects along with the ultra-thin polymeric encapsulation/substrate layers give rise to non-negligible crosstalk, which could result in severe interference in the neural signal recording. Due to the lack of standardized characterization or modeling of crosstalk in neural electrode arrays, to date, crosstalk in polymer MEAs remains poorly understood. In this work, the crosstalk between two adjacent polymer microelectrodes is measured experimentally and modeled using equivalent circuits. Importantly, this study demonstrated a two-well measuring platform and systematically characterized the crosstalk in polymer microelectrodes with true isolation of the victim channel and precise control of its grounding condition. A simple, unified equation from detailed circuit modeling was proposed to calculate the crosstalk in different environments. Finite element analysis (FEA) analysis was conducted further to explore the crosstalk in more aggressively scaled polymer electrode threads. In addition to standardizing neural electrode array crosstalk characterization, this study not only reveals the dependence of the crosstalk in polymer MEAs on a variety of key device parameters but also provides general guidelines for the design of thin polymer MEAs for high-quality neural signal recording.
