Ratio Indexes Based on Spectral Electroencephalographic Brainwaves for Assessment of Mental Involvement: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundThis review systematically examined the scientific literature about electroencephalogram-derived ratio indexes used to assess human mental involvement, in order to deduce what they are, how they are defined and used, and what their best fields of application are. (2) Methods: The review was carried out according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. (3) Results: From the search query, 82 documents resulted. The majority (82%) were classified as related to mental strain, while 12% were classified as related to sensory and emotion aspects, and 6% to movement. The electroencephalographic electrode montage used was low-density in 13%, high-density in 6% and very-low-density in 81% of documents. The most used electrode positions for computation of involvement indexes were in the frontal and prefrontal cortex. Overall, 37 different formulations of involvement indexes were found. None of them could be directly related to a specific field of application. (4) Conclusions: Standardization in the definition of these indexes is missing, both in the considered frequency bands and in the exploited electrodes. Future research may focus on the development of indexes with a unique definition to monitor and characterize mental involvement.
