Four archived pipelines agree on per-patient interictal line-length SOZ AUC, but it does not track Engel outcome or ictal SOZ AUC
This pre-registered synthesis combined archived per-patient results from four analyses of HUP stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) data in OpenNeuro ds004100; it did not analyze raw signals. For interictal line length, the mean pairwise Spearman correlation across pipelines was 0.989 (permutation p = 0.0001; Holm-adjusted p = 0.0003). The consensus AUC did not differ between Engel I and Engel II-IV patients (difference -0.020, p = 0.76; Holm p = 1.0; 35 patients with consensus values) and did not correlate with ictal SOZ AUC (rho = -0.12, n = 33, p = 0.50; Holm p = 1.0). Secondary uncorrected analyses found mean pairwise correlation 0.958 for broadband log power, no association of consensus AUC with SOZ fraction or temporal versus extratemporal target, and a patient factor explaining 23.1% of AUC variance versus 9.3% for feature in one pipeline's 10-feature analysis. The findings support stable patient-level interictal SOZ separability in this cohort, but do not show that it predicts surgical outcome or matches ictal separability. All pipelines used the same recordings and clinical SOZ labels, so agreement is an upper bound on reproducibility, not an independent replication. With 34-35 patients, the outcome test can detect only large effects.

The synthesis uses per-patient results and the participants table associated with OpenNeuro ds004100. The local participants table was fetched from the unversioned S3 URL recorded in the README; its SHA-256 is preserved in original/data/SHA256SUMS. The archived file's exact match to the versioned snapshot is not established.

- supportsInterictal SEEG feature ranks and SOZ AUC repeat across two recordings in 13 HUP patients
That work showed that pipelines agree on the per-patient line-length SOZ AUC in the same ds004100 clip. We show that this AUC also repeats in a separate recording (ds005624 CCDT) of 13 of the same patients.

Independent ds005624 recordings of 13 of the same patients give per-patient line-length SOZ AUC values that agree with the eed73268 consensus AUC (rho 0.99).
