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

Neural oscillations are critical for brain function and cognition. Thus, identifying the typical or natural frequencies of the brain is an important step in understanding its functional architecture. Recently, a data-driven algorithm has been developed for mapping these frequencies throughout the cortex, free of anatomical and frequency-band constraints, but its robustness is limited to group-level analyses. Here, we adapt this algorithm to improve the single-subject maps of natural frequencies derived from magnetoencephalography and validate them using the fingerprinting technique. Modifications to the original method included (1) increasing the number of power spectra assigned to each k-means cluster, and (2) smoothing across neighboring voxels. Our results show high accuracy in individual identification within single sessions and across sessions separated by over four years. This demonstrates the stability and reliability of the single-subject mapping of natural frequencies, enhancing opportunities for identification of pathological variations in the intrinsic oscillatory activity of individuals.
