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

Multipolar intracranial electrical brain stimulation (iEBS) is a method that has potential to improve clinical applications of mono- and bipolar iEBS, including deep brain stimulation (DBS) and sensory prosthetics. Current tools for multipolar iEBS can have high entry costs, lack flexibility in managing stimulation parameters and electrodes, and can include unnecessary clinical features. To enable novel multipolar iEBS research, we developed the Bioelectric Router for Adaptive Isochronous Neuro Stimulation (BRAINS) board. The BRAINS board is a cost-effective, customizable, and scalable device designed to facilitate multipolar iEBS experiments using electrode arrays. The BRAINS board allows user configuration of each channel independently and prioritizes ease of integration with experimental setups. It supports remote configuration changes for rapid switching of electrode states while maintaining output isolation and low noise. We performed bench-top validation of monopolar, bipolar, and multipolar stimulation regimes as well as validation in vivo in mouse primary visual cortex and measured using Neuropixel recordings. The BRAINS board demonstrates no meaningful differences in Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) noise or signal-to-noise ratio compared to the baseline performance of the isolated stimulator alone. The board supports configuration changes at a rate of up to 600 Hz without introducing residual noise. The BRAINS board enables modulation of spatial and temporal specificity of electrical neuromodulation with stimulating arrays, with integration into control systems for real-time neural feedback.
