[Repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation. Treatment option for spasticity?].
Article in Der Nervenarzt, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundIn an open study the effect of repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (RPMS) on the spastic talipes equinus of various origins, degree and duration was evaluated in 53 children and adolescents. STUDY DESIGN AND
methodsClinical and electrophysiological investigations were designed to measure the RMPS effect on the spasticity and the functional capabilities of the spastic talipes equines. Moreover, the duration of the effect of one RPMS session should be established. The magnetic stimulation comprising 10 series of 10 s duration was applied over the first sacral radix using a frequency of 20 Hz and a 1.2-fold intensity above the motoric threshold.
resultsThe RPMS significantly reduced the tonus of the spastic talipes equines and this effect lasted for 1 week. No significant changes of electrophysiological parameters measuring the F-wave, H-reflex und ASR tendon reflex could be observed.
conclusionThe RPMS could prove to be an effective option for the treatment of spasticity. However, this method needs further evaluation by evidence-based studies.
