Improving data sharing and knowledge transfer via the Neuroelectrophysiology Analysis Ontology (NEAO).
Article in Scientific data, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Describing the analysis of data from electrophysiology experiments investigating the function of neural systems is challenging. On the one hand, data can be analyzed by distinct methods with similar purposes, such as different algorithms to estimate the spectral power content of a measured time series. On the other hand, different software codes can implement the same analysis algorithm, while adopting different names to identify functions and parameters. These ambiguities complicate reporting analysis results, e.g., in a manuscript or on a scientific platform. Here, we illustrate how an ontology to describe the analysis process can assist in improving clarity, rigour and comprehensibility by complementing, simplifying and classifying the details of the implementation. We implemented the Neuroelectrophysiology Analysis Ontology (NEAO) to define a vocabulary and to standardize the descriptions of processes for neuroelectrophysiology data analysis. Real-world examples demonstrate how NEAO can annotate provenance information describing an analysis. Based on such provenance, we detail how it supports querying information (e.g., using knowledge graphs) that enable researchers to find, understand and reuse analysis results.
