A lightweight deep convolutional neural network for detecting artifacts in continuous EEG signals.
Article in Clinical neurophysiology practice, 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
Objective: To Develop and validate artifact-specific lightweight convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for automated detection of eye movement, muscle-related, and non-physiological artifacts in clinical EEG, and determine the optimal temporal window for each class (category of artifact type). Methods: Three binary CNN detectors were trained on the Temple University Hospital EEG artifact corpus with patient-level 60/20/20 splits. Signals were standardized to 250 Hz and a 22-channel bipolar montage. Non-overlapping segments of 1-30 s were evaluated. Operating points were fixed by Youden's Results: CNNs outperformed rule-based baselines. Optimal windows differed by artifact type: 20 s for eye movements (ROC AUC 0.975; F1 0.905), 5 s for muscle (accuracy 93.2%, specificity 96.0%, F1 0.855), and 1 s for non-physiological artifacts (F1 0.774; specificity 98.2%). Conclusion: Lightweight artifact-specific CNNs with class-tailored windows provide reliable EEG artifact detection and exceed rule-based performance at fixed operating points. Significance: The work offers practical guidance on per-class windowing (20 s eye, 5 s muscle, 1 s non-physiological) and transparent threshold selection for clinically oriented EEG quality control.
