Abnormal nonlinear features of EEG microstate sequence in obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Article in BMC psychiatry, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundAt present, only a few studies have explored electroencephalography (EEG) microstates of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and the results are inconsistent. Additionally, the nonlinear features of EEG microstate sequences contain rich information about the brain, yet how the nonlinear features of EEG microstate sequences abnormally change in patients with OCD is still unknown.
methodsResting-state EEG data were collected from 48 OCD patients and macheted 48 healthy controls (HC). Subsequently, EEG microstate analysis was used to extract the microstate temporal parameters (duration, occurrence, coverage) and nonlinear features of EEG microstate sequences (sample entropy, Lempel-Ziv complexity, Hurst index). Finally, the temporal parameters and nonlinear features of EEG microstate sequences were sent to three kinds of machine learning models to classify OCD patients.
resultsBoth groups obtained four typical EEG microstate topographies. The duration of microstates A, B, and C in OCD patients decreased significantly, while the occurrence of microstate D increased significantly compared to HC. Sample entropy and Lempel-Ziv complexity of microstate sequences in OCD patients increased significantly, while Hurst index decreased significantly compared to HC. The classification accuracy using the nonlinear features of microstate sequences reached up to 85%, significantly higher than that based on microstate temporal parameter models.
conclusionThis study provides supplementary findings on EEG microstates in OCD patients with a larger sample size. We found that the nonlinear features of EEG microstate sequences in OCD patients can serve as potential electrophysiological biomarkers for distinguishing OCD patients.
