An open-access EEG dataset from indigenous African populations for schizophrenia research.
Article in Data in brief, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Machine-learning pipelines for schizophrenia demand large, ethnically diverse electroencephalography (EEG) corpora, yet African populations remain under-represented in the public domain. The African Schizophrenia EEG Dataset (ASZED-153) helps close this gap with 153 raw, 16-channel recordings from 76 clinically characterized patients and 77 matched controls recruited in south-western Nigeria (mean age ≈ 39 years). Signals were acquired at two hospital units using Contec KT-2400 (200 Hz) and BrainMaster Discovery24-E (256 Hz) systems under harmonized protocols, retaining only the devices' default filter settings. Each session contains four paradigms-eyes-closed resting state, arithmetic working-memory, auditory oddball to elicit mismatch negativity, and a 40 Hz auditory steady-state response-so oscillatory, ERP and cognitive-load markers can be compared within the same individuals. Recordings are released unchanged in European Data Format, accompanied by structured .gnr sidecars detailing clinical scores, device settings and protocol metadata, enabling transparent end-to-end pipelines Data are organized in a version-controlled tree with a public key-map, allowing new African centers to append recordings without breaking existing scripts and paving the way for federated growth beyond Nigeria. By uniting ancestral diversity, multi-task paradigms and minimal preprocessing, ASZED-153 will allow researchers audit ancestry-linked performance drift in existing classifiers, probe biomarkers that may be masked in Euro-Asian cohorts, benchmark algorithms across hardware heterogeneity, and prototype reproducible, open science workflows. ASZED-153 is openly available via Zenodo under a CC-BY licence, and contributions to future releases are welcomed. We anticipate that this resource will accelerate the development of fair, generalizable and clinically useful EEG-based tools for schizophrenia worldwide.
