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

With the advancement of non-invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies, decoding high-level cognitive activity has become pivotal for expanding human-machine interaction. Visual imagery-based BCI (VI-BCI) enable voluntary activation of specific brain regions without external cue, offering novel pathways for immersive applications. However, research on the neural representation of such complex cognitive tasks is still limited, and most existing electroencephalogram (EEG) datasets primarily target motor imagery, hindering the development of robust VI decoding models. Here we present an EEG dataset recorded from 22 participants performing visual imagery tasks involving ten commonly recognized images across three categories: figures, animals, and objects. Each participant completed two sessions, with EEG recorded from 32-channels at 1000 Hz. This resource helps overcome data homogeneity issues in VI studies and provides a foundation for exploring neuroplasticity, adaptive decoding algorithms, and cross-subject generalization, facilitating the transition from controlled experiments to real-world applications.
