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

High frequency oscillations have been extensively investigated as interictal biomarkers of epilepsy. Yet, their value is largely debated due to the presence of physiological oscillations, which complicate distinguishing between normal versus abnormal events. So far, this debate has been addressed using intracranial EEG data from patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. Yet, this approach suffers from inability to record control data from healthy subjects and lack of whole brain coverage. Here, we aim to differentiate physiological from pathological high frequency oscillations using non-invasive whole brain electrophysiological recordings from children with drug-resistant epilepsy and typically developing controls. We recorded high-density EEG and magnetoencephalography data from 47 controls (median age: 11 years; 25 females) and 54 children with drug-resistant epilepsy (median age: 14 years, 33 females). We detected high frequency oscillations (in ripple frequency band) semi-automatically and localized their cortical generators through electric or magnetic source imaging. From each ripple, we extracted a set of temporal, morphological, spectral and spatial features. We then compared the features between ripples recorded from the epileptic brain (further distinguished into those from epileptogenic and non-epileptogenic regions) and those recorded from the control group (normal brain). We used these features to cross-validate a Naïve-Bayes algorithm for classifying each ripple recorded from children with epilepsy as coming from an epileptogenic region or not. We observed more high frequency oscillations on EEG than magnetoencephalography recordings (
