HD-EEG source imaging with simultaneous SEEG recording in drug-resistant epilepsy.

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
objectiveThis study aimed to assess the complementary role of high-density electroencephalography (HD-EEG)-based electrical source imaging (ESI) in localizing the seizure-onset zone (SOZ) during ictal events and the irritative zone (IZ) during the interictal period, using simultaneous acquired stereo-EEG (SEEG) recordings as a reference. In addition, we investigated the relationship of ictal cortical source activity with their scalp and intracranial EEG correlates, focusing on factors influencing ESI accuracy.
methodsWe enrolled 29 patients with drug-resistant epilepsy who underwent simultaneous HD-EEG and SEEG recordings. ESI was performed on ictal and interictal discharges of HD-EEG identified via SEEG, and localization accuracy was assessed relative to SEEG-defined sources. A linear mixed-effects model was applied to examine the influence of source depth and spike power on ESI accuracy. Concordance between ictal ESI and SEEG localizations was analyzed, along with associations with post-surgical outcomes.
resultsSynchronized rhythmic discharges, ranging from 1.95 to 8.77 Hz (mean 5.34 ± 2.14 Hz), but not the low-amplitude fast rhythms in SEEG were mandatory as references for ictal ESI. Ictal ESI periods (14.07 ± 4.62 mm) demonstrated significantly better localization accuracy than interictal ESI periods (17.38 ± 4.16 mm), with a shorter Euclidean distance between ESI dipoles and SEEG contacts. Both ictal spike power and source depth significantly influenced ESI accuracy. Patients with superficial or high-power discharges showed more precise localization. Concordant ictal ESI and SEEG results predicted favorable surgical outcomes (p = .006, n = 28). SIGNIFICANCE: Ictal ESI provides superior localization performance compared to interictal ESI. SEEG-informed analysis of ictal scalp EEG provides critical insights into SOZ characteristics, including location, depth, and spatial complexity. Simultaneous HD-EEG and SEEG recordings enhance the understanding of epileptogenic networks and support surgical decision-making in drug-resistant epilepsy.
