Changing characteristics of somatosensory evoked potentials in adolescents.
Article in Clinical neurophysiology practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Objective: We investigated changing characteristics of somatosensory processing in adolescents, particularly sex differences, by comparing children, young adults, and males and females. Methods: Participants included 26 elementary school children (ESC), 36 adolescents (ADO), and 36 college students (CS). We recorded somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) using electrical stimulation of the right median nerve. Peak latencies and amplitudes were measured for P12, N15, P18, and N30 at Fz, and for P12 (P1), N18 (N1), P22 (P2), N27 (N2), P3, N3, P45 (P4), and N60 (N4) at C3'. Results: The P22 (P2) amplitude at C3' decreased with age. The N15 amplitude at Fz was larger in females across all groups. P3 and N3 occurrence at C3' decreased with age but remained high in ADO compared to CS. Correlation analysis showed a significant negative correlation between P22 (P2) amplitude at C3' and age in ADO boys, but not in ADO girls, ESC boys, or ESC girls. Conclusions: Somatosensory processing in ADO is not as mature as in CS, with sex differences between ADO boys and girls. Significance: Our findings may aid understanding of neural activity in children with developmental disorders, supporting sensory-based therapies.
