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: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurogenerative disorder, making up 70% of total dementia cases with a prevalence of more than 55 million people. Electroencephalogram (EEG) has become a suitable, accurate, and highly sensitive biomarker for the identification and diagnosis of AD. Methods: In this study, a public database of EEG resting state-closed eye recordings containing 36 AD subjects and 29 normal subjects was used. And then, three types of signal features of resting-state EEG, i.e., spectrum, complexity, and synchronization, were performed by applying various signal processing and statistical methods, to obtain a total of 18 features for each signal epoch. Next, the supervised machine learning classification algorithms of decision trees, random forests, and support vector machine (SVM) were compared in categorizing processed EEG signal features of AD and normal cases with leave-one-person-out cross-validation. Results: The results showed that compared to normal cases, the major change in EEG characteristics in AD cases was an EEG slowing, a reduced complexity, and a decrease in synchrony. The proposed methodology achieved a relatively high classification accuracy of 95.65, 95.86, and 88.54% between AD and normal cases for decision trees, random forests, and SVM, respectively, showing that the integration of spectrum, complexity, and synchronization features for EEG signals can enhance the performance of identifying AD and normal subjects. Conclusion: This study recommended the integration of EEG features of spectrum, complexity, and synchronization for aiding the diagnosis of AD.
