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

aimsEpilepsy affects more than 50 million peolple worldwide and requires reliable seizure detection systems to mitigate risks associated with unpredictable seizures. Existing machine learning frameworks are limited in generalizability, signal fidelity, and clinical translation, particularly when bridging invasive and non-invasive modalities. This study aims to develop a robust and generalizable seizure detection model capable of supporting cross-modal applicability.

methodsWe proposed a Transformer-based seizure detection framework designed for end-to-end analysis of raw neurophysiological signals. To address class imbalance and temporal variability, three data augmentation strategies: sequential sampling, random contiguous sampling, and random non-contiguous sampling, were implemented. A channel-agnostic attention mechanism was incorporated to ensure robustness across heterogeneous electrode configurations.

resultsThe framework achieved > 99% accuracy in detecting diverse seizure patterns from rat hippocampal recordings (CA1/CA3) and maintained strong performance across different epilepsy models (PTX- and 4-AP-induced seizures). It also demonstrated resilience under reduced-channel configurations (F1-score: 98.7% with 2 channels). In human electroencephalography (EEG) validation, the model achieved a recall of 99.1% and an overall accuracy of 90.4%, despite the inherent limitations of EEG in resolving high-frequency oscillations and its susceptibility to artifacts.

conclusionBy eliminating manual feature engineering and enabling robust cross-modal adaptation, this framework bridges invasive experimental research and non-invasive clinical practice. Its efficiency and scalability support potential applications in real-time seizure monitoring and closed-loop neuromodulation systems. Future work will focus on integration with hemodynamic biomarkers, validation in chronic epilepsy models, and optimization for wearable and real-time deployment.
