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

aimsDecoding the motor intention by electroencephalography to control external devices is an effective method of helping spinal cord injury (SCI) patients to regain motor function. Still, SCI patients have much lower accuracy in the decoding of motor intentions compared to healthy individuals, which severely hampers the clinical application. However, the underlying neural mechanisms are still unknown. The aim of this paper is to investigate changes in cortical activities after SCI, which are direct determinants of motor decoding performance.

methodsWe performed source localization analyses to investigate the changes in motor-related cortical regions after SCI. Moreover, we measured the power spectral density values and event-related spectral perturbation values to assess the characteristics of the changes in cortical potentials.

resultsWe found that motor-related independent component clusters decreased while attempting upper limb movement after SCI. Additionally, the activities in the sensorimotor cortex obviously attenuated after SCI. theta, alpha, and beta band power modulation obviously altered in SCI individuals. Furthermore, the latency of the largest power increase or decrease between SCI and healthy individuals demonstrated obvious differences.

conclusionOur findings revealed changes in motor-related cortical areas after SCI, which were crucial for improving the accuracy of motor intention decoding and advancing the clinical application.
