Brain Analysis with a Complex Network Approach in Stroke Patients Based on Electroencephalography: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
background and purposeBrain function can be networked, and these networks typically present drastic changes after having suffered a stroke. The objective of this systematic review was to compare EEG-related outcomes in adults with stroke and healthy individuals with a complex network approach.
methodsThe literature search was performed in the electronic databases PubMed, Cochrane and ScienceDirect from their inception until October 2021.
resultsTen studies were selected, nine of which were cohort studies. Five of them were of good quality, whereas four were of fair quality. Six studies showed a low risk of bias, whereas the other three studies presented a moderate risk of bias. In the network analysis, different parameters such as the path length, cluster coefficient, small-world index, cohesion and functional connection were used. The effect size was small and not significant in favor of the group of healthy subjects (Hedges'g = 0.189 [-0.714, 1.093], Z = 0.582,
conclusionsThe systematic review found that there are structural differences between the brain network of post-stroke patients and healthy individuals as well as similarities. However, there was no specific distribution network to allows us to differentiate them and, therefore, more specialized and integrated studies are needed.
