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

Neurodegenerative diseases severely impact the life of millions of patients worldwide, and their occurrence is more and more increasing proportionally to longer life expectancy. Electroencephalography has become an important diagnostic tool for these diseases, due to its relatively simple procedure, but it requires analyzing a large number of data, often carrying a small fraction of informative content. For this reason, machine learning tools have gained a considerable relevance as an aid to classify potential signs of a specific disease, especially in its early stages, when treatments can be more effective. In this work, long short-term memory-based neural networks with different numbers of units were properly designed and trained after accurate data pre-processing, in order to perform a multi-class detection. To this end, a custom dataset of EEG recordings from subjects affected by five neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies, progressive supranuclear palsy, and vascular dementia) was acquired. Experimental results show that an accuracy up to 98% was achieved with data belonging to different classes of disease, up to six including the control group, while not requiring particularly heavy computational resources.
