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

Sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) and brain-computer interfaces (BCI) are emerging neuromodulation therapies that offer innovative solutions for chronic neurological disorders. SNS, primarily used in the management of conditions such as urinary incontinence and chronic pelvic pain, demonstrates significant therapeutic potential. In contrast, BCIs are rapidly advancing in their ability to restore lost motor functions and improve the quality of life of patients with severe neurological impairments, such as spinal cord injury and stroke. The integration of SNS and BCI technologies presents a promising avenue for enhancing neuromodulation outcomes by leveraging the potential of both systems. This article explores the combined operation of SNS and BCI, addressing current challenges, future directions, and the potential for these combined therapies to revolutionise the field of functional neuromodulation.
