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

Peripheral neuromodulation has emerged as a powerful modality for controlling physiological functions and treating a variety of medical conditions including chronic pain and organ dysfunction. The underlying complexity of the nonlinear responses to electrical stimulation make it challenging to design precise and effective neuromodulation protocols. Computational models have thus become indispensable in advancing our understanding and control of neural responses to electrical stimulation. However, existing approaches suffer from computational bottlenecks, rendering them unsuitable for real-time applications, large-scale parameter sweeps, or sophisticated optimization. In this work, we introduce an approach for massively parallel estimation and optimization of neural fiber responses to electrical stimulation using machine learning techniques. By leveraging advances in high-performance computing and parallel programming, we present a surrogate fiber model that generates spatiotemporal responses to a wide variety of cuff-based electrical peripheral nerve stimulation protocols. We used our surrogate fiber model to design stimulation parameters for selective stimulation of pig and human vagus nerves. Our approach yields a several-orders-of-magnitude improvement in computational efficiency while retaining generality and high predictive accuracy, demonstrating its robustness and potential to enhance the design and optimization of peripheral neuromodulation therapies.
