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

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) enable communication between individuals and computers or other assistive devices by decoding brain activity, thereby reconstructing speech and motor functions for patients with neurological disorders. This study presents a high-resolution micro-electrocorticography (µECoG) BCI based on a flexible, high-density µECoG electrode array, capable of chronically stable and real-time motor decoding. Leveraging micro-nano manufacturing technology, the µECoG BCI achieves a 64-fold increase in electrode density compared to conventional clinical electrode arrays, enhancing spatial resolution while featuring scalability. Over a 203-day in vivo experiment, high-resolution µECoG carrying fine spatial specificity information demonstrated the potential to improve decoding performance while reduce implanted devices size. These advancements provide a pathway to overcome the limitations of conventional ECoG BCIs. During awake surgery, the µECoG BCI enabled game control after 7 min of model training. Furthermore, during practice of 19.87 h, the participant achieved cursor control with a bit rate of 1.13 bits per second (BPS) under full volitional control, and the bit rate reached up to 4.15 BPS with enhanced user interface. These results show that the µECoG BCI achieves comparable performance to intracortical electroencephalographic (iEEG) BCIs without intracortical invasiveness, marking a breakthrough in the clinical feasibility of flexible BCIs.
