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

Computational analysis of electroencephalographic (EEG) signals have shown promising results in detecting brain disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). AD is a progressive neurological illness that causes neuron cells degeneration, resulting in cognitive impairment. While there is no cure for AD, early diagnosis is critical to improving the quality of life of affected individuals. Here, we apply six computational time-series analysis methods (wavelet coherence, fractal dimension, quadratic entropy, wavelet energy, quantile graphs and visibility graphs) to EEG records from 160 AD patients and 24 healthy controls. Results from raw and wavelet-filtered (alpha, beta, theta and delta bands) EEG signals show that some of the time-series analysis methods tested here, such as wavelet coherence and quantile graphs, can robustly discriminate between AD patients from elderly healthy subjects. They represent a promising non-invasive and low-cost approach to the AD detection in elderly patients.
