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
objectivesConventional magnetoencephalography (MEG) based on superconducting quantum interference devices sensors (SQUIDs) is the only widely used MEG system in both clinical and research settings. However, it has limitations that hinder its widespread deployment. Optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs) offer several advantages over SQUIDs, particularly for epilepsy studies: lightweight and flexible, OPMs can be integrated into adaptable motion-tolerant headsets, enabling recordings during seizures or natural head movements, and potentially enhancing the detection of interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs). In the present study, we assess the capabilities of a 5-sensor MEG system with helium OPMs (

resultsThe key finding is that both the SQUID-MEG and the SIGNIFICANCE: These results strongly support the clinical adoption of a lightweight, high-sensitivity, whole-head OPMs-MEG system, offering new perspectives for epilepsy diagnostics and beyond, and enabling the democratization and spread of MEG in clinical and research settings. PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY: Magnetoencephalography is a noninvasive neuroimaging technique that has been shown to improve surgical outcomes in epileptic patients. However, its use remains limited due to several constraints, which could be overcome by a new generation of sensors: the optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs). Here, we validate the ability of OPM sensors to record epileptic brain activity in a regular clinical setup and thanks to simultaneous intracerebral recordings. These sensors open new venues for the widespread application of magnetoencephalography in the management of epilepsy, as well as for fundamental neuroscience.
