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

backgroundThe objective of this study was to investigate the value of mismatch negativity (MMN) and P300 event-related potentials for discriminating the consciousness state and predicting improvement of consciousness at 6 months in patients with coma and other disorders of consciousness (DOC).

methodsWe performed MMN and P300 on 42 patients with DOC with a mean onset time of 40.21 ± 19.43 days. These patients with DOC were categorized into coma, unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS), minimal consciousness minus (MCS-), and minimal consciousness plus (MCS +) groups according to neurobehavioral assessment and the Coma Recovery Scale-Revised score. The primary outcome was the improvement of consciousness at 6 months in patients with DOC. We assessed the efficacy of MMN and P300 in quantitatively predicting the prognosis at 6 months and the capability of MMN and P300 parameters to differentiate between DOC.

resultsAt least one significant difference in either MMN or P300 parameters was displayed among the DOC groups, but not between the MCS- and MCS+ groups (significance level: 0.05). Both MMN and P300 amplitudes showed desirable predictive accuracy at 6 months, with areas under the curve (AUCs) of 0.859 and 0.856, respectively. The optimal thresholds for MMN and P300 amplitudes were 2.044 and 1.095 μV. However, the combined MMN-P300 amplitude showed better 6-month predictive accuracy (AUC 0.934, 95% confidence interval 0.860-1.000), with a sensitivity of 85% and a specificity of 90.9%.

conclusionsMMN and P300 may help discriminate among coma, UWS, and MCS, but not between patients with MCS- and patients with MCS+ . The MMN amplitude, P300 amplitude, and especially combined MMN-P300 amplitude at 6 months may be interesting predictors of consciousness improvement at 6 months in patients with DOC.
