Resting-State EEG Signature of Early Consciousness Recovery in Comatose Traumatic Brain Injury Patients.
Article in Research square, 2024. 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
Background Resting-state electroencephalogram (rsEEG) is usually obtained to assess seizures in comatose patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients. We aim to investigate rsEEG measures and their prediction of early recovery of consciousness in comatose TBI patients. Methods This is a retrospective study of comatose TBI patients who were admitted to a level-1 trauma center (10/2013-1/2022). Demographics, basic clinical data, imaging characteristics, and EEG data were collected. We calculated using 10-minute rsEEGs: power spectral density (PSD), permutation entropy (PE - complexity measure), weighted symbolic-mutual-information (wSMI - global information sharing measure), Kolmogorov complexity (Kolcom - complexity measure), and heart-evoked potentials (HEP - the averaged EEG signal relative to the corresponding QRS complex on electrocardiogram). We evaluated the prediction of consciousness recovery before hospital discharge using clinical, imaging, rsEEG data via Support Vector Machine with a linear kernel (SVM). Results We studied 113 (out of 134, 84%) patients with rsEEGs. A total of 73 (65%) patients recovered consciousness before discharge. Patients who recovered consciousness were younger (40 vs. 50, p .01). Patients who recovered consciousness had higher Kolcom (U = 1688, p = 0.01,), increased beta power (U = 1652 p = 0.003), with higher variability across channels ( U = 1534, p = 0.034), and epochs (U = 1711, p = 0.004), lower delta power (U = 981, p = 0.04) and showed higher connectivity across time and channels as measured by wSMI in the theta band (U = 1636, p = .026, U = 1639, p = 0.024) than those who didn't recover. The ROC-AUC improved from 0.66 (using age, motor response, pupils' reactivity, and CT Marshall classification) to 0.69 (p < 0.001) when adding rsEEG measures. Conclusion We describe the rsEEG EEG signature in recovery of consciousness prior to discharge in comatose TBI patients. Resting-state EEG measures improved prediction beyond the clinical and imaging data.
