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 a chronic neurological disorder caused by abnormal neuronal activity that is diagnosed visually by analyzing electroencephalography (EEG) signals.

backgroundSurgical operations are the only option for epilepsy treatment when patients are refractory to treatment, which highlights the role of classifying focal and generalized epilepsy syndrome. Therefore, developing a model to be used for diagnosing focal and generalized epilepsy automatically is important.

methodsA classification model based on longitudinal bipolar montage (LB), discrete wavelet transform (DWT), feature extraction techniques, and statistical analysis in feature selection for RNN combined with long short-term memory (LSTM) is proposed in this work for identifying epilepsy. Initially, normal and epileptic LB channels were decomposed into three levels, and 15 various features were extracted. The selected features were extracted from each segment of the signals and fed into LSTM for the classification approach.

resultsThe proposed algorithm achieved a 96.1% accuracy, a 96.8% sensitivity, and a 97.4% specificity in distinguishing normal subjects from subjects with epilepsy. This optimal model was used to analyze the channels of subjects with focal and generalized epilepsy for diagnosing purposes, relying on statistical parameters.

conclusionsThe proposed approach is promising, as it can be used to detect epilepsy with satisfactory classification performance and diagnose focal and generalized epilepsy.
