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

We examined the potential of combining EEG signals from multiple individuals to identify critical events in a team task. In this study two subjects played a video game in which they had complementary roles, one player serving as a Bait to distract 5 enemy fortress and the other serving as a Shooter to destroy the fortress. Twenty-one pairs of subjects were analyzed. Critical events, destruction of the fortress and deaths of each player, evoked distinguishable P300-like responses from both players. Fortress kills could be best identified by combining the two EEG signals, while deaths could be best identified by focusing on the response of the player who died. Hidden semi-Markov models (HSMMs) achieved good identification of the events by combining information about the temporal distribution of these critical events with the conditional probability of the EEG activity. These findings indicate that we can track and improve by adaptively merging or selecting the signals from different team members.
