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

backgroundAdaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS) for Parkinson's disease (PD) relies on accurate detection of beta oscillatory activity. However, electrocardiographic (ECG) artifacts frequently contaminate local field potentials (LFPs), compromising control algorithms. While offline cleaning methods exist, their feasibility for real-time operation within the strict timing constraints of current sensing-enabled devices remains unknown.

methodsWe evaluated four ECG removal algorithms, template subtraction (TS), singular value decomposition (SVD), extended SVD (eSVD), and the Perceive toolbox (PR), on simulated datasets (contaminated at -30 to +20 dB) and clinical recordings from 20 PD patients. Algorithms were assessed for artifact removal quality (beta power preservation, signal-to-noise ratio) and real-time feasibility (99th percentile processing latency-P

resultsOnly TS and standard SVD met the real-time feasibility threshold, with TS achieving superior timing consistency (P

conclusionsTS is the recommended method for real-time aDBS applications, offering a safety-critical balance of computational efficiency and biomarker fidelity.
