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

Stoof et al. investigate why distinct brain regions exhibit characteristic oscillatory frequencies, such as occipital alpha and frontal beta rhythms. Their work elegantly links openly available intracranial EEG spectra from 106 epilepsy patients to synaptic receptor densities from available autoradiography maps in three healthy donors. In the framework of dynamic causal modelling, they show that regional oscillations emerge from balanced combinations of excitatory (AMPAR, NMDAR) and inhibitory receptors (GABAR A or B), while neuromodulatory receptors exert subtler influences.
