Abnormal Synchronization Between Cortical Delta Power and Ripples in Hippocampal Sclerosis.

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
objectiveDiscriminating between epileptogenic and physiological ripples in the hippocampus is important for identifying epileptogenic (EP) zones; however, distinguishing these ripples on the basis of their waveforms is difficult. We hypothesized that the nocturnal synchronization of hippocampal ripples and cortical delta power could be used to classify epileptogenic and physiological ripples in the hippocampus.
methodsWe enrolled 38 patients with electrodes implanted in the hippocampus or parahippocampal gyrus between April 2014 and March 2023 at our institution. We divided 11 patients (11 hippocampi) who were pathologically diagnosed with hippocampal sclerosis into the EP group and five patients (six hippocampi) with no epileptogenicity in the hippocampus into the nonepileptogenic (NE) group. Hippocampal ripples were detected using intracranial electroencephalography with hippocampal or parahippocampal electrodes. Cortical delta power (0.5-4 Hz) was assessed using cortical electrodes. The Pearson correlation coefficient between the ripple rates and cortical delta power (Corr-RD) was calculated on the basis of the intracranial electroencephalographic signals recorded each night.
resultsAlthough hippocampal ripples were similar among the EP and NE groups based on their waveforms and frequency properties, the Corr-RDs in the EP group (mean [standard deviation]: 0.20 [0.049]) were significantly lower than those in the NE group (0.67 [0.070]). On the basis of the minimum Corr-RDs, the two groups were classified with 94.1% accuracy.
interpretationOur results demonstrate that the Corr-RD is a biomarker of hippocampal epileptogenicity.
