Review in Journal of medical signals and sensors, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07384351 (Added Value of MRI Volumetry and Diffusion Tensor Imaging Over Conventional MRI in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

Unexpected seizures significantly decrease the quality of life in epileptic patients. Seizure attacks are caused by hyperexcitability and anatomical lesions of special regions of the brain, and cognitive impairments and memory deficits are their most common concomitant effects. In addition to seizure reduction treatments, medical rehabilitation involving brain-computer interfaces and neurofeedback can improve cognition and quality of life in patients with focal epilepsy in most cases, in particular when resective epilepsy surgery has been considered treatment in drug-resistant epilepsy. Source estimation and precise localization of epileptic foci can improve such rehabilitation and treatment. Electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring and multimodal noninvasive neuroimaging techniques such as ictal/interictal single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) imaging and structural magnetic resonance imaging are common practices for the localization of epileptic foci and have been studied in several kinds of researches. In this article, we review the most recent research on EEG-based localization of seizure foci and discuss various methods, their advantages, limitations, and challenges with a focus on model-based data processing and machine learning algorithms. In addition, we survey whether combined analysis of EEG monitoring and neuroimaging techniques, which is known as multimodal brain data fusion, can potentially increase the precision of the seizure foci localization. To this end, we further review and summarize the key parameters and challenges of processing, fusion, and analysis of multiple source data, in the framework of model-based signal processing, for the development of a multimodal brain data analyzing system. This article has the potential to be used as a valuable resource for neuroscience researchers for the development of EEG-based rehabilitation systems based on multimodal data analysis related to focal epilepsy.
