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

backgroundCortico-cortical evoked potentials (CCEPs) recorded by stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) are a valuable tool to investigate brain reactivity and effective connectivity. However, invasive recordings are spatially sparse since they depend on clinical needs. This sparsity hampers systematic comparisons across-subjects, the detection of the whole-brain effects of intracortical stimulation, as well as their relationships to the EEG responses evoked by non-invasive stimuli.

objectiveTo demonstrate that CCEPs recorded by high-density electroencephalography (hd-EEG) provide additional information with respect SEEG alone and to provide an open, curated dataset to allow for further exploration of their potential.

methodsThe dataset encompasses SEEG and hd-EEG recordings simultaneously acquired during Single Pulse Electrical Stimulation (SPES) in drug-resistant epileptic patients (N = 36) in whom stimulations were delivered with different physical, geometrical, and topological parameters. Differences in CCEPs were assessed by amplitude, latency, and spectral measures.

resultsWhile invasively and non-invasively recorded CCEPs were generally correlated, differences in pulse duration, angle and stimulated cortical area were better captured by hd-EEG. Further, intracranial stimulation evoked site-specific hd-EEG responses that reproduced the spectral features of EEG responses to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Notably, SPES, albeit unperceived by subjects, elicited scalp responses that were up to one order of magnitude larger than the responses typically evoked by sensory stimulation in awake humans.

conclusionsCCEPs can be simultaneously recorded with SEEG and hd-EEG and the latter provides a reliable descriptor of the effects of SPES as well as a common reference to compare the whole-brain effects of intracortical stimulation to those of non-invasive transcranial or sensory stimulations in humans.
