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

backgroundHuman brain connectivity can be measured in different ways. Intracranial EEG (iEEG) measurements during single pulse electrical stimulation provide a unique way to assess the spread of electrical information with millisecond precision. However, the methods used for the detection of responses in cortico-cortical evoked potential (CCEP) data vary across studies, from visual inspection with manual annotation to a variety of automated methods. NEW

methodTo provide a robust workflow to process CCEP data and detect early evoked responses in a fully automated and reproducible fashion, we developed the Early Response (ER)-detect toolbox. ER-detect is an open-source Python package and Docker application to preprocess BIDS structured iEEG data and detect early evoked CCEP responses. ER-detect can use three early response detection methods, which were validated against 14 manually annotated CCEP datasets from two different clinical sites by four independent raters. RESULTS AND COMPARISON WITH EXISTING

methodsER-detect's automated detection performed on par with the inter-rater reliability (Cohen's Kappa of ∼0.6). Moreover, ER-detect was optimized for processing large CCEP datasets, to be used in conjunction with other connectomic investigations.

conclusionER-detect provides a highly efficient standardized workflow such that iEEG-BIDS data can be processed in a consistent manner and enhance the reproducibility of CCEP based connectivity results for both research and clinical purposes.
