Galvanic-coupled Trans-dural Data Transfer for High-bandwidth Intra-cortical Neural Sensing.
Article in IEEE transactions on microwave theory and techniques, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
A digital-impulse galvanic coupling as a new high-speed trans-dural (from cortex to the skull) data transmission method has been presented in this paper. The proposed wireless telemetry replaces the tethered wires connected in between implants on the cortex and above the skull, allowing the brain implant to be "free-floating" for minimizing brain tissue damage. Such trans-dural wireless telemetry must have a wide channel bandwidth for high-speed data transfer and a small form factor for minimum invasiveness. To investigate the propagation property of the channel, a finite element model is developed and a channel characterization based on a liquid phantom and porcine tissue is performed. The results show that the trans-dural channel has a wide frequency response of up to 250 MHz. Propagation loss due to micro-motion and misalignments is also investigated in this work. The result indicates that the proposed transmission method is relatively insensitive to misalignment. It has approximately 1 dB extra loss when there is a horizontal misalignment of 1mm. A pulse-based transmitter ASIC and a miniature PCB module are designed and validated ex-vivo with a 10-mm thick porcine tissue. This work demonstrates a high-speed and miniature in-body galvanic-coupled pulse-based communication with a data rate up to 250 Mbps with an energy efficiency of 2 pJ/bit, and has a small module area of only 26 mm
