Assessment of Anesthetic Depth Through EEG Mode Decomposition Using Singular Spectrum Analysis.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
(1) Background: Electroencephalography (EEG) is widely used to monitor the depth of anesthesia; however, conventional Fourier-based analyses are limited in their ability to characterize non-stationary anesthetic-induced EEG dynamics. In this study, we investigated the utility of singular spectrum analysis (SSA) combined with the Hilbert transform for extracting physiologically meaningful EEG features under sevoflurane general anesthesia. (2) Methods: Frontal EEG data from ten patients undergoing sevoflurane anesthesia were analyzed from the maintenance phase through emergence. Using SSA, short EEG segments were decomposed into six intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) without pre-specified basis functions or frequency bands. Hilbert spectral analysis was applied to each IMF to obtain instantaneous frequency and amplitude characteristics. (3) Results: The SSA-based decomposition clearly captured phase-dependent EEG changes, including
