Quantitative EEG as a diagnostic and prognostic tool in hemispheric stroke patients undergoing type A aortic dissection surgery.
Article in Brain and behavior, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveThe diagnostic and prognostic value of quantitative electroencephalogram (qEEG) parameters, specifically the symmetry of amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) and relative band power (RBP), in the postoperative stroke of the cerebral hemisphere following type A aortic dissection, remains an area of inquiry.
methodsWe analyzed and processed 56 patients with type A aortic dissection who underwent bedside qEEG monitoring and analyzed the qEEG indices, brain CT, and clinical data of these patients. qEEG (symmetry of aEEG and RBP, and affected/unaffected hemisphere) indices were analyzed at discharge and 60 days after discharge.
resultsA total of 56 patients were studied. The 60-day mortality rate was 12.5%. The affected hemisphere's diagnosis and mortality after 1-year follow-up were evaluated, and RBP beta demonstrated the highest area under the curve values with 95% confidence intervals (CI) of .849 (95% CI: .771-.928) and .91 (95% CI: .834-.986), respectively. According to the results of the logistic regression analysis, we have identified the strongest predictors for cerebral hemisphere stroke and 1-year mortality in stroke patients. Specifically, aEEGmin exhibited the highest predictive power with an odds ratio (OR) of .735 for cerebral hemisphere stroke, whereas DTABR was confirmed as one of the strongest predictors with an OR of 1.619 for 1-year mortality in stroke patients, indicating a high level of reliability. Spearman correlation coefficients showed that aEEGmax and aEEGmin were positively correlated with Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (aEEGmax: rho = .50, p < .001; aEEGmin: rho = .44, p < .001).
conclusionsQEEG has been proven to be a sensitive indicator for monitoring brain function and can be monitored continuously. It can help clinicians detect and treat these patients early and improve long-term prognosis.
