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

For patients with MRI-negative drug-resistant epilepsy, noninvasive localization of targets for transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) remains a clinical challenge. This study proposes a novel target localization approach that integrates electroencephalogram source imaging, brain network analysis, and a neural computational model. We analyzed electrocorticography (ECoG) data from 12 patients, quantified the epileptogenicity of epileptic network nodes, and noninvasively located optimal stimulation targets. Three source imaging methods and two brain network reconstruction measures were compared for localization performance. Among four patients with good outcomes, the method accurately localized epileptogenic tissues in three. Results of tES simulation demonstrated that cathodal direct current stimulation of the target region significantly reduced the brain network's epileptogenicity. This study provides a noninvasive, quantifiable targeting strategy for tES therapy in epilepsy patients.
