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

Neuroprosthetics represents a dynamic field at the interface of neurosciences, engineering and neurosurgery that is based on implanted devices for restoration or extension of neurological functions. Important advances involve brain-computer and brain-spine interfaces that enable communication, motor and sensory feedback in paralyzed or anarthric patients. Intracortical arrays, subdural electrocorticographic lattices and endovascular electrodes provide different access routes, supplemented by strategies, such as spinal neuromodulation and functional electrostimulation. Recent studies confirmed the restoration of grasping movements, standing and walking as well as fluid speech and text communication, sometimes via avatars. Bidirectional systems with sensory feedback enhance the naturalness and precision. There are challenges in signal stability, longevity and minimally invasive access routes. With interdisciplinary cooperation and technical maturity neuroprostheses can enrich the routine neurosurgical care in the future.
