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

Background: Collaboration between epilepsy centers is essential to integrate multimodal data for epilepsy research. Scalable tools for rapid and reproducible data analysis facilitate multicenter data integration and harmonization. Clinicians use intracranial EEG (iEEG) in conjunction with non-invasive brain imaging to identify epileptic networks and target therapy for drug-resistant epilepsy cases. Our goal was to promote ongoing and future collaboration by automating the process of "electrode reconstruction," which involves the labeling, registration, and assignment of iEEG electrode coordinates on neuroimaging. These tasks are still performed manually in many epilepsy centers. We developed a standalone, modular pipeline that performs electrode reconstruction. We demonstrate our tool's compatibility with clinical and research workflows and its scalability on cloud platforms. Methods: We created Results: We used iEEG-recon to accurately reconstruct electrodes in both electrocorticography (ECoG) and stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) cases with a 10 minute running time per case, and ~20 min for semi-automatic electrode labeling. iEEG-recon generates quality assurance reports and visualizations to support epilepsy surgery discussions. Reconstruction outputs from the clinical module were radiologically validated through pre- and post-implant T1-MRI visual inspections. Our use of ANTsPyNet deep learning approach for brain segmentation and electrode classification was consistent with the widely used Freesurfer segmentation. Discussion: iEEG-recon is a valuable tool for automating reconstruction of iEEG electrodes and implantable devices on brain MRI, promoting efficient data analysis, and integration into clinical workflows. The tool's accuracy, speed, and compatibility with cloud platforms make it a useful resource for epilepsy centers worldwide.
