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

Electrical source imaging is used in presurgical epilepsy evaluation and in cognitive neurosciences to localize neuronal sources of brain potentials recorded on EEG. This study evaluates the spatial accuracy of electrical source imaging for known sources, using electrical stimulation potentials recorded on simultaneous stereo-EEG and 37-electrode scalp EEG, and identifies factors determining the localization error. In 11 patients undergoing simultaneous stereo-EEG and 37-electrode scalp EEG recordings, sequential series of 99-110 biphasic pulses (2 ms pulse width) were applied by bipolar electrical stimulation on adjacent contacts of implanted stereo-EEG electrodes. The scalp EEG correlates of stimulation potentials were recorded with a sampling rate of 30 kHz. Electrical source imaging of averaged stimulation potentials was calculated utilizing a dipole source model of peak stimulation potentials based on individual four-compartment finite element method head models with various skull conductivities (range from 0.0413 to 0.001 S/m). Fitted dipoles with a goodness of fit of ≥80% were included in the analysis. The localization error was calculated using the Euclidean distance between the estimated dipoles and the centre point of adjacent stimulating contacts. A total of 3619 stimulation locations, respectively, dipole localizations, were included in the evaluation. Mean localization errors ranged from 10.3 to 26 mm, depending on source depth and selected skull conductivity. The mean localization error increased with an increase in source depth (
