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

Auditory evoked potentials (AEPs) are brain-derived electrical signals, following an auditory stimulus, utilised to examine any obstructions along the brain neural-pathways and to diagnose hearing impairment. The clinical evaluation of AEPs is based on the measurements of the latencies and amplitudes of waves of interest; hence, their identification is a prerequisite for AEP analysis. This process has proven to be complex, as it requires relevant clinical experience, and the existing software for this purpose has little practical use. The aim of this study was the development of two automated annotation tools for ABR (auditory brainstem response)- and AMLR (auditory middle latency response)-tests. After the acquisition of 1046 raw waveforms, appropriate pre-processing and implementation of a four-stage development process were performed, to define the appropriate logical conditions and steps for each algorithm. The tools' detection and annotation results, regarding the waves of interest, were then compared to the clinicians' manual annotation, achieving match rates of at least 93.86%, 98.51%, and 91.51% respectively, for the three ABR-waves of interest, and 93.21%, 92.25%, 83.35%, and 79.27%, respectively, for the four AMLR-waves. The application of such tools in AEP analysis is expected to assist towards an easier interpretation of these signals.
