Optically pumped magnetometers enhance neuroimaging performance-An EEG, OPM, and SQUID-MEG study.

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
Much of our understanding of how neural circuit activity relates to human behavior and cognition stems from non-invasive assessments of the central nervous system. Further progress on key questions, however, requires measurements with a higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Here, we show that in an established 40 Hz auditory steady-state paradigm, optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs) significantly outperform not only electroencephalography (EEG) but also conventional magnetoencephalography (MEG) in SNR and inter-trial phase coherence (ITPC). SNRs of OPMs were increased by up to 205% compared to EEG and by up to 40% compared to conventional MEG. As few as 10-16 OPM sensors were sufficient to significantly outperform 56 EEG electrodes. To maximize the representation of evoked responses, we employed spatial filters, which greatly enhanced SNRs across measurement modalities. Our data provide evidence for the potential of OPMs to enhance non-invasive neuroimaging, paving the way for important advances in basic as well as translational neuroscience.
