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

A fundamental view of neuroscience is that, in addition to neuronal activity, the structure of the brain constrains and explains brain function. An alluring formalism in computational neuroscience has been the generation of structural eigenmodes of neural activity from a matrix representing the anatomy of the brain. Traditionally, brain connectomics has been the gold standard for the coupling between structure and function. However, it has recently been suggested that simpler brain geometry can provide more explanatory power in fMRI. An adjacent modality is the source localization problem of EEG, which aims to identify the underlying generators of EEG recordings. The underdetermined nature of the problem requires sufficient constraints to produce realistic and unique solutions of source activity. In this work, a simple framework for incorporating different forms of structural brain eigenmodes to constrain the source localization problem in epilepsy is presented. Geometric eigenmodes were found to be able to reconstruct the spread of a seizure through the brain slightly better than connectome eigenmodes, and both types of structural modes significantly outperformed commonly used approaches.
