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.
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
Sensor-space EEG analyses typically rely on electrode layouts or data-driven components and rarely encode cortical geometry, making scalp patterns difficult to link to anatomy and to compare across participants. We introduce a sensor-space basis dictionary that explicitly integrates cortical geometry. Laplace-Beltrami (LB) eigenmodes are computed on a standard cortical template (fsaverage) and mapped by the lead-field matrix of a three-layer boundary-element (BEM) head model to yield cortex-anchored sensor-space harmonics. The leadfield-mapped LB dictionary spans scalp topographies, while preserving a meaningful spatial-frequency ordering inherited from the cortical manifold. We assess representational efficiency using ordinary least squares (OLS) projections of resting EEG (eyes-closed/open) across 59-, 32-, and 19-channel montages, and compare against spherical harmonics (SPH), principal components (PCA), and independent components (ICA). Efficiency is quantified by the variance explained of spatial configuration [Formula: see text] (by leading K modes) and the efficiency indices [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] (fewest modes reaching [Formula: see text] and 0.90) and between-condition consistency by ICC(3,1) of eyes-open/closed coefficients. The cortex-anchored basis shows higher early-K [Formula: see text] than SPH and PCA (e.g., 59-channel eyes-closed at [Formula: see text]: LB [Formula: see text] [95% CI: 0.54, 0.59] vs. SPH [Formula: see text] [0.42, 0.46], PCA [Formula: see text] [0.07, 0.09]) and reaches 70% and 90% variance with fewer modes (LB [Formula: see text]; SPH [Formula: see text]; PCA [Formula: see text]; ICA [Formula: see text]; LB [Formula: see text]; SPH [Formula: see text]; PCA [Formula: see text]; ICA [Formula: see text]). Mode-wise coefficient consistency (eyes-open vs. eyes-closed) is comparable between LB and SPH. By combining cortical eigenmodes with a forward head model, this approach yields a geometry-aligned, interpretable representation of sensor-space EEG that offers superior fidelity-complexity trade-offs at small K and a principled scaffold for low-dimensional EEG sensor space analysis.
