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

Continuous brain function monitoring by high-performance electroencephalogram (EEG) suggests a high impact for advancing precision personalized medication of neurodevelopmental or neurodegenerative disorders. Forehead and ear EEGs are nonhairy recording strategies that allow the recording of brain activity using only a few electrodes. However, they require well-designed electrodes that are easy and comfortable to carry while simultaneously performing durable high-quality EEG acquisition. Herein, we propose a new ultrabiocompliant EEG sensor that enables seamless contact to surfaces of both earhole and forehead, while permitting prolonged and high-quality EEG signal identification. Bioinspired polydopamine/platinum-silver nanowires, called PDA-Ag@Pt NWs, are synthesized with noticeable performances in electrical conductivity, antioxidation ability, cytocompatibility, and adhesion. PDA-Ag@Pt NWs can promote synchronic gelation and interlinks within polydopamine-polyacrylamide (PDA-PAM) hydrogels, in turn leading to the one-step formation of a nanowire/hydrogel matrix, called PDA-PAM/NW, as an electrode patch in the presence of adhesive and self-healing capabilities. Combined with a self-designed signal processor, a portable electrophysiological signal recording system was realized. The PDA-PAM/NW electrode patch outperformed commercial electrodes in terms of reliability and resolution for electrocardiography (ECG), electromyography (EMG), and electroencephalography (EEG) recording. In addition, through brain cognitive assessment by frontal- and ear-EEG recording, the ultrathin design and comfortable adhesion of PDA-PAM/NW electrodes make participants comfortable over time, subsequently providing the identification of the brain activity in high resolution. This work underscores the potential of the ultrabiocompliant and durable patch in the development of comfy, long-lasting, and high-performance wearable brain-machine interfaces for the revolution in neuroscience.
