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

backgroundTo generate a behavioral feature library for a more granular description of seizure semiology in rats with traumatic brain injury (TBI). To compare the new approach to the Racine score. NEW

methodA library of 59 seizure-related behavioral features was generated by annotating 329 seizures in 31 rats with TBI, which were monitored using high-resolution video-electroencephalogram. Of the 329 seizures, 149 were early, 85 post-electrode implantation (6th post-injury month), and 95 late seizures (7th post-injury month). Of the 59 behavioral features, 3 were pre-ictal, 43 ictal, and 13 post-ictal. Of the 43 ictal features, 7 related to consciousness, 5 to mouth and whiskers, 2 to eyes, 7 to head, 2 to ears, 6 to paws, 12 to body and tail, 2 to autonomic function, and 1 to wet-dog shakes.

resultsEarly, post-implantation, and late seizures showed different behavioral phenotypes (p < 0.001). The number of behavioral features in post-electrode implantation and late seizures was greater than that in early seizures (p < 0.05). Behavioral features did not reliably differentiate transitions from pre-ictal to ictal or from ictal to post-ictal phases. COMPARISON WITH EXISTING

methodsNinety-one percent of early, 45 % of post-electrode implantation, and 18 % of late seizures with a Racine score of 0 showed up to 6-7 ictal-related behaviors.

conclusionsThe Proposed feature list can be applied for the harmonization of data analysis and reporting, and training of video-based seizure detection algorithms to speed up non-invasive, affordable epilepsy diagnosis and assessment of treatment effects in TBI models.
