Pathological neurons generate ripples at the UP-DOWN transition disrupting information transfer.
Article in medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objective: To confirm and investigate why pathological HFOs (pHFOs), including Ripples [80-200 Hz] and fast ripples [200-600 Hz], are generated during the UP-DOWN transition of the slow wave and if pHFOs interfere with information transmission. Methods: We isolated 217 total units from 175.95 iEEG contact-hours of synchronized macro- and microelectrode recordings from 6 patients. Sleep slow oscillation (0.1-2 Hz) epochs were identified in the iEEG recording. iEEG HFOs that occurred superimposed on the slow wave were transformed to phasors and adjusted by the phase of maximum firing in nearby units (i.e., maximum UP). We tested whether, in the seizure onset zone (SOZ), HFOs and associated action potentials (AP) occur more often at the UP-DOWN transition. We also examined ripple temporal correlations using cross correlograms. Results: At the group level in the SOZ, HFO and HFO-associated AP probability was highest during the UP-DOWN transition of slow wave excitability (p<<0.001). In the non-SOZ, HFO and HFO-associated AP was highest during the DOWN-UP transition (p<<0.001). At the unit level in the SOZ, 15.6% and 20% of units exhibited more robust firing during ripples (Cohen's d=0.11-0.83) and fast ripples (d=0.36-0.90) at the UP-DOWN transition (p<0.05 f.d.r corrected), respectively. By comparison, also in the SOZ, 6.6% (d=0.14-0.30) and 8.5% (d=0.33-0.41) of units had significantly less firing during ripples and fast ripples at the UP-DOWN transition, respectively. Additional data shows ripple temporal correlations, involving global slow waves, between the hippocampus, entorhinal cortex, and parahippocampal gyrus were reduced by ~50-80% in the SOZ compared to the non-SOZ (N=3). Significance: The UP-DOWN transition of slow wave excitability facilitates the activation of pathological neurons to generate pHFOs. The pathological neurons and pHFOs disrupt ripple temporal correlations across brain regions that transfer information and may be important in memory consolidation.
