Time-frequency analysis of event-related brain recordings: Effect of noise on power.
Article in Heliyon, 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
In neuroscience, time-frequency analysis is widely used to investigate brain rhythms in brain recordings. In event-related protocols, it is applied to quantify how the brain responds to a stimulation repeated over many trials. We here focus on two common measures: the power of the transform for each single trial averaged across trials, avgPOW; and the power of the transform of the average evoked potential, POWavg. We investigate the influence of additive noise on these two measures. We quantify the expected effect using theoretical calculations, simulated data and experimental brain recordings. We also consider the case of color noise. We extract the main factors influencing the effect of noise on POWavg and avgPOW, such as the noise variance, the number of trials, the sampling rate, the type of noise, the type of time-frequency transform and the frequency of interest. When dealing with time-frequency analysis, the impact of noise on the neuroscientist's work can drastically vary depending on these factors. The present results should help researchers improve their understanding and interpretation of time-frequency diagrams, as well as optimize their experimental designs and analyses based on their neuroscientific question.
