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

Processing of electroencephalography (EEG) data requires multiple steps to remove noise and artifacts and select good-quality data. While powerful open-source toolboxes like MNE-Python exist, their command-line nature can pose a barrier for researchers without programming experience. Here, we present EEG-Pype, an open-source (Apache-2.0 licensed) graphical user interface application using MNE-Python functions. EEG-Pype provides an intuitive workflow tailored for preprocessing of resting-state EEG data, including frequency band filtering, independent component analysis and atlas-based beamforming for source-level analysis. The application supports several common raw EEG input file formats and guides users through a comprehensive pipeline focused on manual bad channel and epoch selection. Manual steps are streamlined using MNE-Python's interactive plots, resulting in a user-friendly experience. Configuration saving and loading allows for batch (re)runs, while a separate log is also saved, improving reproducibility and documentation. Output can be saved after filtering in canonical frequency bands, ready for further analysis. EEG-Pype includes a module for calculating quantitative EEG measures on preprocessed data, including spectral, functional connectivity and network analysis metrics. This software aims to lower the entry barrier for standardized EEG preprocessing, promoting reproducible research practices among neuroscientists and clinicians without requiring programming knowledge. EEG-Pype can be downloaded from: https://github.com/yorbenlodema/EEG-Pype and is not dependent on a specific operating system.
