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

Objective/methods: The Eastern Association of Electroencephalographers (EAEEG), founded in 1946, is recognized as the world's oldest EEG society. This review traces its history, highlighting contributions from notable members and the significance of the Kirshman and Milner lectureships in advancing the field. Results: Although established in Hartford, Connecticut, the society's intellectual roots lie at the Montreal Neurological Institute, home to pioneering EEG researchers Wilder Penfield and Herbert Jasper. Over more than seven decades, the EAEEG has played a pivotal role in fostering research, education, and collaboration across the United States and Canada. Its conferences have featured distinguished keynote lectures, including presentations by three Nobel Laureates, emphasizing the society's prominence in neurophysiological advancements. The society has successfully facilitated transnational collaboration, offering a platform for both trainees and experienced clinicians and scientists to exchange knowledge and promote progress in clinical and basic neurophysiology. Conclusions/Significance: Despite the prominence of large international conferences, the EAEEG's influence underscores the importance of smaller, multinational societies in shaping neurophysiological research and practice. Its history exemplifies how collaborative efforts between the US and Canada can drive scientific innovation and education within a supportive, collegial environment, reinforcing the enduring impact of specialized professional societies on the field.
