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

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) using Medtronic's Percept™ PC implantable pulse generator is FDA-approved for treating Parkinson's disease (PD), essential tremor, dystonia, obsessive compulsive disorder, and epilepsy. Percept™ PC enables simultaneous recording of neural signals from the same lead used for stimulation. Many Percept™ PC sensing features were built with PD patients in mind, but these features are potentially useful to refine therapies for many different disease processes. When starting our ongoing epilepsy research study, we found it difficult to find detailed descriptions about these features and have compiled information from multiple sources to understand it as a tool, particularly for use in patients other than those with PD. Here we provide a tutorial for scientists and physicians interested in using Percept™ PC's features and provide examples of how neural time series data is often represented and saved. We address characteristics of the recorded signals and discuss Percept™ PC hardware and software capabilities in data pre-processing, signal filtering, and DBS lead performance. We explain the power spectrum of the data and how it is shaped by the filter response of Percept™ PC as well as the aliasing of the stimulation due to digitally sampling the data. We present Percept™ PC's ability to extract biomarkers that may be used to optimize stimulation therapy. We show how differences in lead type affects noise characteristics of the implanted leads from seven epilepsy patients enrolled in our clinical trial. Percept™ PC has sufficient signal-to-noise ratio, sampling capabilities, and stimulus artifact rejection for neural activity recording. Limitations in sampling rate, potential artifacts during stimulation, and shortening of battery life when monitoring neural activity at home were observed. Despite these limitations, Percept™ PC demonstrates potential as a useful tool for recording neural activity in order to optimize stimulation therapies to personalize treatment.
